"This Banding of Electricity is a Huge FRAUD!" - Actress Kate Henshaw Voices Frustration Over Poor Power Supply

 

 Renowned Nigerian actress, Kate Henshaw, has voiced her strong displeasure with the current electricity banding system in Nigeria, labeling it a "huge FRAUD!" Her outburst comes amidst widespread complaints from citizens across the country regarding inconsistent power supply despite the implementation of the new tariff structure.

Taking to her social media platform, the visibly frustrated actress did not hold back her feelings about the situation. While she did not explicitly detail her specific experience, her exclamation point and emphatic choice of words clearly conveyed her dissatisfaction with the power situation.

The "banding" system, which categorizes electricity consumers into different groups based on the supposed hours of supply they receive, was recently introduced alongside tariff hikes. The aim was purportedly to ensure that consumers pay tariffs commensurate with the quality of power they are provided. However, many Nigerians, including Kate Henshaw, are alleging that they are not experiencing the promised hours of electricity despite being placed in higher bands and consequently paying more.

Henshaw's statement adds a prominent voice to the growing chorus of Nigerians who feel shortchanged by the new electricity arrangement. Social media platforms are rife with similar complaints of prolonged blackouts and unstable power supply, even in areas categorized under supposedly higher service bands.

The actress's blunt assessment of the situation as a "huge FRAUD!" is likely to resonate with a significant portion of the population who feel that the new system has failed to deliver on its promises and has instead led to increased financial burden without a corresponding improvement in power supply.

This public outcry, spearheaded by influential figures like Kate Henshaw, is expected to further intensify the pressure on relevant authorities to address the issues plaguing the power sector and ensure that the banding system truly reflects the reality of electricity distribution across the nation. The calls for transparency and accountability in the power sector are growing louder as Nigerians grapple with the persistent challenges of unreliable electricity.
