Jos Electricity Distribution Company (JEDC), says it has installed prepaid meters for 9,861 customers in Gombe State from January to June.
Dr Adakole Elijah, JEDC’s Head of Corporate Communications, who stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Gombe on Saturday, said the company registered 77, 291 active customers in the state.
JEDC’s official said that customers were agitating for metering because meter was the only tool for measuring energy consumption and “we are investing heavily on meters; before the year runs out more customers would be metered.’’On complaints by customers yet to be metered, Elijah said: “our customers should remain where they are, our staff will come and get them profiled before metering.
“If meters have not reached our customers in their communities; they should exercise patience, everybody is going to get metered.Elijah also identified vandalism as a challenge to the company’s operations, adding that there were efforts to end it. “In this regard, we have secured two convictions in Gombe as part of efforts towards ending vandalism and other sabotage in the franchise area,” he said.
