Access to electrical energy in urban slum settlement areas is a systematic challenge to the population of Cameroonian cities. This stems from the nature of the relief, deplorable living conditions and poverty. This article advances that poverty and the nature of the relief have caused the people of Azegue to indulge in unorthodox means to access electricity which has affected their social wellbeing. Data collection through questionnaire administration, observation and perception, interviews and group discussions coupled with documentary research were done. Results from findings advocate that the inadequate supply of electrical energy in Azegue has enabled the inhabitants to devise other means of survival. Some 87% of the population of Azegue lives in poverty. The neighbourhood is characterised by 20% of hills and 80% of valley slums with poor runoff and drainage. A greater part of the neighbourhood is considered prohibited for settlement hence, not fit for electrical energy supply. Some inhabitants of the area acquire energy through direct connection on electric poles without permission. Others receive their supply from neighbours as secondary source distributors. Electrical energy distribution triggers a solid social relationship amongst those engaged in the same activity.This method of social justice by the inhabitants on one hand augments solidarity and on the other produces conflicts. Considering the indispensible nature of electrical energy to the daily functioning of households, State intervention in land acquisition and the provision of social amenities is imperative in Azegue to render the area sustainable for settlement.
