  107. Hi Linda, please can you talk about the power outage in Abuja? It's been extremely bad for the past week. I mean there's been no light at all!!! Food has gone bad, the place is hot, work cannot be done. Not everyone has money for a gen and all we're hearing is elections. Please Linda write on it. It's becoming unbearable
