Nigerians have been congratulated on the 60th independence anniversary by the management of Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company Plc (IBEDC), with the energy firm pledging its commitment to the development of the nation.

In a statement issued by the company, its Chief Operating Officer (COO), Engr. John Ayodele, urged Nigerians to continue to contribute to the development of the nation.

According to him, IBEDC will continue to play its role in national development through excellent service delivery, improved quality power supply, prompt response to customers’ complaints and bridging the metering gap across our franchise and setting a new order in the power chain.

Mr Ayodele described electricity as the “engine room that drives the development of the economy of any country.”

While wishing the company’s esteemed customers a happy Independence Day, Mr Ayodele emphasised that “the sacrifices and the ideologies of the founding fathers should remain the watchwords for a united and an indivisible country.”

He also urged energy users under the coverage network of the company to “reach us via our customer care channels – call: 07001239999, email: customercare@ibedc.com and Customer.ibedc.com through the holiday to make enquiries or report faults.”

He implored customers to take advantage of the firm’s hassle-free payment platforms- Fetswallet, Quick teller, etransact, Payarena, ATM, Jumia and USSD to pay their electricity bills promptly and vend to ensure uninterrupted power supply during the public holiday.

“Our offices will remain open during the holiday from 9am-3pm to attend to customers for enquires, complaints, bill payment, vending and other related issues,” he said.

He advised motorists to avoid driving under the influence of alcohol and observe traffic rules to prevent collision with electric poles and other forms of accidents.
