The Managing Director also cautioned against the engagement of unqualified individuals to handle electrical issues within communities, emphasising the importance of adhering to safety protocols and proper earthing of premises.

He underscored the dangers of tampering with electrical installations, stressing that such actions are not only illegal but also pose huge risks to electrical accidents.

Achife also urged motorists to exercise caution on the roads and avoid driving under the influence of alcohol and to adhere to traffic regulations to prevent accidents involving electrical infrastructure.

He also encouraged customers to utilise IBEDC’s hassle-free payment platforms to settle their bills and purchase electricity units conveniently, thereby avoiding service disruptions.

Among these platforms is the newly launched IBEDCPAY app, accessible to both Android and iOS users. Other payment options include i-recharge, Quickteller, Payarena, Jumia, Watu, Buypower and ATM.
