In the video by @nesis.trendzng, she narrated how she had to install solar electricity at her home due to the low supply of light allocated to Band D customers.
According to the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, Band D customers enjoy a minimum of eight hours of daily power supply.
Sharing her experience as a Band D customer, the lady said:
“POV: You sweat excessively and you live in Band D. Rechargeable fans to the rescue make heat no kee me. I sweat so much you’d think I took a shower. #Since I can’t afford to buy fuel everyday, i had to also get a sunking solar for charging and light. I really hope and pray Nigeria develops to a stage where we get to have 24/7 electricity.”
In a chat with Legit.ng, Oyindamola said she was planning to relocate and had no plans to get another power supplier.
She said:
"I use sunking to charge my gadgets and light up my apartment. I have no other plans for another power supplier in my apartment as I plan on relocating outside the country."
