Ikeja Electric Resumes Disconnection, Urges Customers To Pay Bills by dipoolowoo: 11:09pm On May 04, 2020 |
By Modupe Gbadeyanka The suspension earlier placed on disconnection of power supply of its customers has been lifted by Ikeja Electric. On April 1, 2020, Business Post reported that Ikeja Electric announced that it would not be disconnecting electricity of non-paying customers within its franchise network during the 2-week stay-at-home period enforced by federal government to curb the spread of coronavirus. The move, according to the Acting CEO of Ikeja Electric, Ms Folake Soetan, was to ensure that “our customers enjoy steady and quality supply throughout this difficult period and beyond. We recognize the fact that electricity supply is critical to our ability to stay safe, clean and indoors.” Last Monday, President Muhammadu Buhari announced that from May 4, 2020, there would be an ease in the 5-week lockdown in Abuja, Lagos and Ogun States. In a notice today, Ikeja Electric said following the development, it was lifting the suspension on disconnection activities, urging energy consumers to pay their bills. The electricity distribution firm said the appeal became necessary because of its need to meet some obligations to the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI). “As we begin partial lockdown, we use this medium to inform our customers of the need to start paying their bills to avoid power cuts as we have also lifted the suspension of disconnection activities. “The request is necessitated by the need to meet our obligations to the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI), as paying your bills will enable us to meet our financial obligation to the market operators and this will ensure that the country continues to generate power supply,” Ikeja Electric said. While thanking its customers for their “continued understanding and allowing us to serve you,” the company appealed to consumers to “continue to adhere to all the safety rules of personal hygiene and social distancing.” Ikeja Electric expressed hope that business activities will gradually return to normal with the partial lifting of the lockdown order by the federal government. Business Post observed that throughout the period of the lockdown, Ikeja Electric focused on increasing supply to its customers. https://businesspost.ng/general/ikeja-electric-resumes-disconnection-urges-customers-to-pay-bills/ 1 Like 1 Share |

Is my memory failing me already? Don't I remember the FG promising us 2 months free electricity? People just moved out of their house after over 40 days at home, and the next thing is bills, bills and bills. Buhari's government should just give Lagosians 2 months free light. It could be the only thing Lagosians get from his forgettable eight years in the villa |

Luckydubby7:Ikeja Electric expressed hope that business activities will gradually return to normalwith the partial lifting of the lockdown order by the federal government. Should they have waited for that business activities to return to normal before bringing bills? |
