Attitude Of Consumers Towards Public Utilities (a Case Study Of Nepa, Enugu Metropolis

It has always been said that the consumer is the king and will remain the king in the market place-meaning that the success or failure of any product/service depends on the attitude of consumer towards it. 

The consumer attitude may be positive in which case the product/service enjoys consumer’s acceptance or negative attitude, which will result in rejection of the service/product, and various factors could be responsible for each situation.

This means that public utilities have to be aware of the consumers’ ideas, opinions and interest towards the companies’ services, type of services and if possible, factors responsible for such attitude. Therefore, it is in the light of the above that the researcher went into to determine what attitude towards the public utilities that exist in the mind of the consumers. The study is aimed at determining the extent to which people regard NEPA as a corporate body and the confidence imposed on the provision of efficient and quality power supply. Chapter one, as the introductory segment, determines the attitude of consumer towards public utility especially NEPA. Chapter two deals with the concept of consumer behaviour. Chapter three looks at the methodologies used in carrying out the research work. Actual Data presentation and findings were presented in chapter four. While chapter five and the concluding segment looks at the implications, discussions of result and recommendations.
