Following the partial lifting of the lockdown order by the federal government, the Ikeja Electric Distribution Company (IKDC) has urged Nigerians to go back to their work/businesses schedules adhering strictly to all the safety rules of personal hygiene and social distancing with the firm hope that business activities will gradually return to normal.
The management, however, reminded their customers that the company will remain committed throughout the period of the lockdown thereby suspending disconnection of customers who are yet to settle their outstanding bill which they see as their own way of showing understanding challenges of the current realities.
“With the easing of the lockdown, we urge customers with outstanding to settle their bill on or before 11th May 2020. The company will embark on disconnection of defaulting customers upon the exploration of the timeline”.
“The disconnection is necessitated by the need to meet our obligations to the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI). As we all know, the survival of the Electricity Industry is solely dependent on collections by the distribution companies of which Ikeja Electric Company is no exception’.
The company on the other hands reaffirmed their understanding of the inconveniences this inevitable action might but seek for customers’ cooperation in ensuring their bill is paid as earlier stipulated.
