President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the sack of the management of the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC).
Ofem Uket, spokesman of Goddy Agba, Minister of State for Power, announced this in a statement on Tuesday.

The statement said, “The presidential directives as conveyed also directed the Bureau of Public Enterprises to set up a new management team of the AEDC”.
