In its reaction to the ranking, the management of Kaduna Electric said in a statement that, “This ranking shows clearly the safety efforts that have been put in place by Kaduna electric in-spite of having the largest network among the distribution companies.”
It added that, “Our objective is to maintain a high degree of both national and international safety standards for sustainable operations.”
