IT really pained me to hear that a principal manager of the Power
Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), Abuja Distribution Company, Wuse Zone
4, could demand for a sum of N100, 000 as a bribe before he could
perform his constitutional duty to install transformers for his
customers. If he knew that the action would backfire on him, he wouldn’t
have demanded for the bribe. If this is the case, then all other PHCN
officials should be very careful and desist from soliciting for money
from their customers for the installation of transformers.
The Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences
Commission (ICPC) will continue to expose the faces of some corrupt PHCN
officials. It should be noted that some of them usually demand for
bribe before installing the new prepaid meter for customers. It is,
therefore, so unfortunate that a whole manager could be part of this
corrupt practice. Most people don’t care about their reputation when it
comes to money. This act of indecency has caused the manager great
humiliation and pain amongst his colleagues and family members. He has
soiled his hands just because of money. This is a big lesson to all
bribe takers. Everybody must know that the ICPC and EFCC are on ground.
Therefore, we must shun corruption, and join hands in bringing about
sanity to this nation. Bribery and corruption should be stopped.
