In order to ensure the sustainability of its business operations in 2024 and beyond, Ikeja Electric Plc (IE), has reiterated its commitment to optimizing a collaborative approach to stakeholder management. 

The company also expressed profound appreciation to customers who have been steadfast in their support and constructive criticisms while complaints and challenges were addressed and resolved.

Speaking during first virtual stakeholder/customers engagement session for the year 2024, the Company’s spokesperson and Head of Corporate Communications, Mr Kingsley Okotie, thanked customers for their support in 2023 and assured of visible improvements in service delivery in the New Year.

He reiterated IE’s commitment to safety in the network and advised customers not to get involved in illegalities especially on activities under power lines, or engaging non-certified technicians whose ineptitude can lead to service disruptions, fire outbreaks and eventual loss of lives and property. 

He noted that despite the challenging economic situation that is affecting optimal performance of businesses across the country, Ikeja Electric will not rest on its oars in providing quality service and remarkable experience to its esteemed customers while appealing for the unflinching support of all stakeholders towards achieving the corporate goals and objectives of the company in 2024. 

The IE spokesman advised customers not to partake in any form of bribery, nor condone extortion or paying money to staff to influence or fast track service requests, but should formally lodge their complaints through the appropriate channels and obtain  a Service Request Number (SRN) to enable tracking of such complaints until it’s finally resolved. 

He revealed that some customers are still engaging in energy theft through meter by-pass, illegal connections and reconnections, saying that anyone caught involved in such criminal acts will be prosecuted.   

Speaking on the company’s metering project and the steps involved in obtaining new meters, customers who are yet to apply for meter should do so via  www.smartkyc.ikejaelectric.com and provide the necessary requirements such as NIN, valid phone number, email address and other information as may be requested. 

He also advised STS Meter customers that are having challenges to ensure that their meters are duly upgraded to the new standard as those who are yet to do so will not be able to load the token purchased.   

In order to ensure stability of electricity supply through the 33kv/11kv feeders, the company has been regularly relieving overloaded distribution transformers and fencing the unprotected ones in 2023. 

This proactive and preventive maintenance of infrastructure,  Okotie noted, will continue with more aggression as it has allowed the company to reduce its turn-around times.
