The management of Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) Plc has congratulated all Nigerians, its esteemed customers and the general public on the celebration of Nigeria’s 64th Independence Anniversary.

In a statement issued on Monday by the Acting Managing Director, Engr. Francis Agoha and made available to New Telegraph in Osogbo, Osun State capital emphasized IBEDC’s unwavering dedication to the nation’s growth and development.

“As we celebrate Nigeria’s independence, it is vital to uphold the principles of integrity, hard work, and patriotism.

“Electricity is the backbone of any nation’s economy, and IBEDC remains committed to powering Nigeria’s progress by delivering services that enhance lives and support economic growth,” Engr. Agoha remarked.

As part of IBEDC’s continuous effort to support the nation, Engr. Agoha called on IBEDC customers to shun acts of energy theft, including meter tampering and illegal connections.

“Energy theft is not only a crime, punishable by law and attracts a jail time of up to 3 years, but it also negatively impacts the quality of service for all customers. It is a disservice to the nation, he stressed.

He further warned that tampering with electrical installations poses significant safety risks, including severe injuries or fatalities. Customers are urged to report any cases of energy theft or suspicious activities to IBEDC to ensure the continued safety and reliability of electricity distribution in their communities.

While the nation celebrates, IBEDC assures customers that our technical teams are ready to address any faults or issues that may arise during the holiday.

“We encourage customers to utilize our convenient payment channels to ensure uninterrupted service. These include the IBEDCPAY app (available on Android and iOS), as well as IRecharge, Quickteller, Payarena, Jumia, Watu, Buypower, and ATMs.

“IBEDC offices will be open during the public holiday from 9 AM – 3 PM for payment and vending services. For any inquiries, customers can reach out via email at [email protected] or call our Customer Care Line at 07001239999. Happy Independence Day!”
