He stated that measures have been put in place to ensure network stability and smooth operations during the Christmas holidays, saying ”our technical crew will work throughout to rectify electrical faults so that customers can enjoy the holidays”.

Ayodele who urged all Nigerians to demonstrate the virtue of love which symbolizes Christmas, also appealed to consumers to ensure prompt payment of their electricity bills and adequate vending to avoid disconnection or disruption of service during the holidays. 

He charged customers to take advantage of the Hassle-free payment platforms - Fetswallet, Mcash, etransact, Watu, Payarena, Jumia and ibedc.com to pay their electricity bills promptly and vend to enjoy uninterrupted power supply.

“Our offices are also open during the holiday from 9am-3pm to attend to customers for enquiries, complaint, bill payment, vending.”

He advised that it is also important that other safety precautions such as proper supervision of children to prevent electrical accidents, not cooking or trading under a high-tension wire and not engaging quacks to fix faults are strictly observed.
