Over 60, 000 metered households shun vending for 6months- KEDCO
The Management of Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) has uncovered over 60, 000 metered households that shunned vending within the last six months. According to the Management, this has caused the company huge economic losses within the period.
The Management stated that it was in view of the economic sabotage that these households had caused, that led the company to set up a mega taskforce to sanitize the system.
The taskforce will ensure functionality of all installed meters as well as ensure that households are vending as and when due.
According to the MD/ CEO Dr. Jamil Isyaku Gwamna, “this is a gross economic sabotage for a company that has been doing a lot to improve power supply to its numerous customers across Kano, Katsina and Jigawa states.”
Dr. Gwamna, therefore, urged customers to desist from tampering their meters as anyone caught would be prosecuted according to the laws of the land.
“We call for more supports from customers as a way of encouraging our ongoing metering efforts to phase out estimated billing on our franchise,” the Kano DisCo boss added.
