Customers of Eko Electricity Distribution Plc (EKEDC) have been promised uninterrupted power supply throughout the Easter period.
General Manager in charge of Corporate Communications of EKEDC, Mr Godwin Idemudia, said on Friday that “EKEDC has put in place measures to ensure customers’ hopes” of enjoying uninterrupted power supply throughout the Easter period were not dashed.
He said the electricity company has already adopted some measures to achieve this, saying EKEDC was aware of the high expectations of customers to enjoy regular power supply during Easter.
“We assure customers within our operational territory of uninterrupted electricity supply during Easter.
“We will ensure that energy from the National Grid is adequately distributed to customers,” Mr Idemudia assured.
He, however, warned against vandalism and tampering with equipment in the zone as it could cause deaths or serious injuries.
According to him, frequent damage of such equipment would cause outage.
“It is illegal and dangerous for anyone to trade, live or work near electricity installations or even tamper with them.
“The company is determined to deliver power supply to its customers in a very safe manner; we will collaborate with communities to safeguard electricity installations,” he told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
