Electricity consumers desirous of obtained meters on the platform of Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC), can now heave a sigh of relief as the Discos has announced the availability of meters for allocation.
This, the utility said, is on the heels of its recent acquisition of a new stock through the Meter Asset Provider (MAP) Scheme. This initiative aims to improve service delivery and address concerns over estimated billing among its customers.
The Acting Managing Director, IBEDC, Francis Agoha, an engineer, said customers are to register for meter acquisition through its dedicated platform. The platform, he emphasised, has been designed under the Meter Asset Provider (MAP) Scheme to ensure a seamless and secure metering experience for all its customers.
He warned against its customers making cash payments to third parties. “To safeguard your transactions, we recommend visiting our official website at msms.ibedc.com for meter registration and payments,” he emphasised.
He noted that IBEDC provides multiple secure payment options including IBEDCpay, USSD,24-hour Self-Service Kiosks, IRecharge, and Fets Wallet, designed to facilitate convenient and secure customer transactions.
Agoha, however added that for customers who must make cash payments due to limited access to online services, they are to ensure that they obtain a valid receipt for every transaction. “Ensure the receipt issued bears the customer copy to prevent any potential fraud,” he added. We urge all customers to exercise caution and refrain from engaging with unauthorised agents claiming to represent IBEDC,” he submitted.
