The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) has urged Muslim faithful to imbibe the virtues and morals of the Ramadan season, which is selflessness and piety.
Chief Operating Officer (COO), IBEDC, Engr. John Ayodele, who said this in a goodwill message wished all “customers and Nigerians a happy Eid -Mubarak.”
Engr. Ayodele, in a copy of the message sent to Platforms Africa, said: “IBEDC is aware that our customers are looking forward to enjoying uninterrupted services during the holidays, so, we are committed to ensuring this as much as is within our remit and control.
“Our technical crew are also available to rectify any faults that may arise during this period, but we appeal that none of our staff going about their lawful duties should be harassed or molested in any way. IBEDC would explore all available legal options to seek redress should any of our staff become a victim of harassment.”
He further pleaded with customers and all Nigerians that while celebrating the Ramadan to observe and adhere to the COVID- 19 safety protocols of hand washing, use of face masks and physical distancing as recommended by Nigerian Centre Disease Control (NCDC). It is also important that other safety precautions such as proper supervision of children to prevent electrical accidents, no cooking or trading under a high-tension wire and engagement of quacks to fix faults are equally observed.
Engr. Ayodele finally urged customers to take advantage of payment platforms to pay their electricity bills promptly and vend to ensure uninterrupted power supply.
“Our payment centers will remain open during the holidays from 9am-3pm daily to attend to customers for bill payment, vending, enquiries and complaints,” he said.
