The Management of Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) has felicitated with Nigerians on the celebration of the country’s 63rd Independence anniversary while reaffirming its unwavering commitment to the development and progress of the country.
The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of IBEDC, Engineer Kingsley Achife, revealed this in a statement made available to PMParrot on Friday in Ibadan, the capital city of Oyo State.
The MD further reiterated the company’s dedication to contributing to national development through exceptional service delivery and the reduction of the metering gap within the franchise area.
He said, “IBEDC has put measures in place to ensure seamless service delivery during the public holiday and address any electrical faults that may arise during this period. Furthermore, the company’s customer care line (07001239999) will remain active to promptly respond to complaints and reports”.
‘Uphold Sacrifices’
Engineer Achife further urged Nigerians to uphold the sacrifices and emulate the ideals of the founding fathers for a united and harmonious country.
He further urged motorists to avoid driving under the influence of alcohol and adhere to traffic rules in order to prevent accidents involving electric poles and other hazards during the festivities.
The MD, however, implores customers to take a stand against energy theft, including tampering with meters and to avoid shortcuts in bill payment processes.
“This practice not only undermines the integrity of our electricity distribution system, it jeopardizes the sustainability of the power supply and also robs the nation of much-needed resources for development”.
Engr. Achife further encouraged customers to take advantage of IBEDC’s hassle-free payment channels, including iRecharge, Quickteller, Payarena, Jumia, Watu, Buypower, and ATMs, to conveniently settle their bills and recharge their meters stating that IBEDC’s offices will remain open during the holiday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. to serve customers efficiently.
