There's been no power supply since last year 2017 December and I'm not sure if it has been fixed.
Is the government of Edo state not aware of the power outage in this area?
Is there no attempt to fix this lack of power supply?
Is the government of Edo State not aware of the damages being done and how it would affect the supposedly revenue generated?
If the newly established multinational business decides to leave, what happens?
