The management of Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company plc (IBEDC) has warned its customers to avoid vandalising the properties of the electricity company, News About Nigeria reports.
The Managing Director, Mr. Kingsley Achife, gave this warning in a statement on Tuesday in Ilorin.
He noted that this is to avoid being plunged into darkness during this period of holiday.
He advised communities to watch over their electrical installations and report any suspected acts of vandalism.
He also warned against tampering with electrical installations, highlighting the dangers of such actions and adding that they could lead to electrical accidents.
“It is important that communities join us in the fight against vandalism to avoid being plunged into darkness even during this holiday.” He stated.
Achife warned customers against assaulting its members of staff, saying it now carries a jail term.
He, therefore, urged customers to report complaints to IBEDC offices or call the customer care line at 07001239999 instead of resorting to violence.
Achife further felicitated with Muslims in the country over the successful completion of the Ramadan season, emphasising the importance of the season’s sacrifice in fostering love and selflessness for Nigeria’s prosperity.
“The management felicitates with Muslims and all Nigerians on the occasion of Eid-el-Fitr,” he added.
He reiterated IBEDC’s dedication to providing quality service within the remit of its control, even during holidays, assuring customers that technical teams remained committed to promptly resolving any faults that might occur during this period.
He also encouraged customers to utilise IBEDC’s hassle-free payment channels for bill settlements and vending to avoid disconnection.
“IBEDC offices will remain open during public holidays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. to address customer needs, and inquiries can also be made via email at customercare@ibedc.com.”
