Niger State, home to significant hydroelectric power plants, experiences daily electricity supply of less than three hours for most residents. The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) has increased billing despite inadequate supply, affecting local businesses and causing economic distress.

Residents report that the erratic power supply has exacerbated water shortages and intensified heat during the approaching Ramadan. Calls for government intervention to address these disparities and improve living conditions are growing.
