    Mr Okechukwu, an indigene of Enugu State, who is now a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, said he was concerned with the transaction because being a tax payer in the state.

    The letter reads, “May I humbly request you to use your good office to furnish me with information regarding the privatisation of Enugu Electricity Company Plc (EnuguDisco).

    “Sir, I am a tax payer from Enugu State whose daily bread is tangential to the electricity supply.

    “I make this request relying on the Freedom of Information (FoI) Act, 2011.

    “For the avoidance of doubt, I request that you furnish me with information and documents covering the event ranging from Expression of Interest, Valuation and Technical Proposal, Emergence of Preferred Bidder, Share Purchase Agreement, Payment made so far (with dates) and all other relevant documents relating to that sale of Enugu Electricity Distribution Company, ENEDISCO.
