PHCN Twitter account functioned only 24 hours in 2 years

by Temitayo Famutimi

The official Twitter handle of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria, Eko Distribution Zone, @PHCNEkoZone has only been active for 24 hours since it was created.

An investigation by our correspondent showed that the company’s Twitter account, which was opened on November 3, 2010, became dormant the day after.

Before then, the company had tweeted only one message announcing that it could be followed on Twitter.  “We are now on Twitter,” it said.

Nothing has been posted on the handle, which boasts a following of about 73 people, ever since that time.
