A licensed gas fitter to fix a dangerous fault at Fatima's home in Nnewi

A gas fitter is needed to repair dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms at the home of a family of 5.

Nnewi
In May an inspector told me that my home has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms. It's a safety risk for me and my newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $280 are beyond us. I'm looking for a licensed gas fitter who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $20. The job should take about four hours. I'll make sure someone is home and will provide refreshments. I can share the inspector's written report on request. If you're a gas fitter and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks for being kind about this.
