….Installs Automatic Circuit Recloser Mechanism In Akute Network Axis

In line with its commitment to continually deliver excellent service experience to customers, Nigeria’s leading Electricity Distribution Company, Ikeja Electric Plc, has deployed Automatic Circuit Recloser Mechanisms around its Akute network axis, in a bid to improve the turn-around time for resolving faults on the network.
