Why you must unplug chargers when not in use by Remmy Nweke - Telecoms Clinic @ITREALMS

Unplugging chargers isn’t just about saving electricity—it’s about saving lives, property, and gadgets from fire and surges. Telecoms Clinic@ITREALMS by Remmy Nweke urges safety over convenience: unplug chargers when not in use.

It often starts with something small, almost invisible. A charger left dangling in a socket, no phone attached, no one paying attention. For many households, this is an everyday scene. But in one unguarded moment, that same harmless-looking charger can become the spark that changes lives forever.
Imagine a family coming back to a living room filled with smoke because a forgotten charger overheated. Or the heartbreak of a student who lost years of study notes when his only laptop was destroyed in a fire traced back to a power surge through an idle charger. These are not just technical risks; they are deeply human stories of loss, fear, and regret.
