In a statement, IBEDC’s Managing Director, Engr. Francis Agoha, reflected on the essence of Christmas as a celebration of sacrificial love, urging Nigerians to emulate this virtue in their daily lives.
The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) Plc has extended warm Christmas greetings to Christians, its valued customers and all Nigerians, emphasizing the significance of safety and energy responsibility during the festive season.
Engr. Agoha reassured customers of IBEDC’s commitment to ensuring stable power supply and efficient operations throughout the holidays. “We have put measures in place to maintain network stability and swiftly address faults to minimize power disruptions during this period,” he said.
“Energy theft is a criminal act that affects service quality for everyone and hampers our collective progress. I encourage customers to report any suspicious activities immediately,” he said.
He warned against tampering with electrical installations due to their severe safety risks, including the potential for injury or fatality. Also, he urged customers to report any faults, energy theft, or other issues to IBEDC offices or the Customer Care Line.
IBEDC also encourages customers to use its secure and convenient payment platforms to ensure an uninterrupted electricity supply during the holidays.
These platforms include the IBEDCPAY app (available on Android and iOS), Quickteller, Payarena, Jumia, Watu, Buypower, IRecharge, and ATMs. IBEDC offices will be open from 9 am to 3 pm during the holiday to report faults, make inquiries, bill payments, and vending services.
“We sincerely thank our customers for their continued support throughout the year and urge everyone to prioritize safety by avoiding hazardous practices, such as cooking under power lines, drunk driving, etc.,” added Engr. Agoh
