Thousands of youths from Akpabuyo and Bakassi local government areas of Cross River State have invaded the office of the Port Harcourt Distribution Company (PHDC) along Calabar Road in Calabar Municipal Local Government Area of the State, to protest the non-supply of electricity.
The protest which took place in the early hours of Wednesday lasted over four hours as protesters disrupted free traffic flow, official functions at PHDC and other economic, commercial and social activities in the area.
One of the protesters known as Offiong Okon lamented the lack of electricity supply to their areas.
“People that came to protest are youths from Bakassi and Akpabuyo, for over two years, we have no electricity. PHDC disconnected us since the new management came on board and we cannot continue this way” he said.
