The name has been changed from National Electric Power Authority to Power Holding Company of Nigeria but this has in no way improved its performances and services to the populace of Benin City.
The near lack of Power has affected the growth of small scale businesses and has resulted in alternative search for electric power. The readily available alternative for private use is the Generator set popularly referred to as 'I Better Pass my Neighbour' This has resulted in more business for Generator retailers and importers.
The federal Government has set Power as one of its 7 point agenda and has gone further to declear a state of emergency on the sector though with little or no effect to the common man.
Benin City and indeed Nigeria is in dying need of Power. The people remain hopeful and hard working with or without PHCN
