The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) has introduced a new metering initiative called ‘Easy MAPS’ that allows customers to get metered without physical visit to the company’s offices.
The Managing Director, IBEDC, Engr. Kingsley Achife, in a statement on Thursday, said the new system eliminates the need for physical visits to its offices or mandatory online registration to provide a more streamlined and efficient metering process for customers.
Engr. Achife said, “With the Easy MAPS, all customers need to do is pay into the designated bank accounts for their location and send proof of payment with their meter/account numbers,address to the designated WhatsApp numbers. Once the payment is verified, a team of our trained technicians will be sent to the customer’s location for evaluation and installation.
“This process eliminates all the initial process of registration, etc. that many customers, especially the semi-literate struggle with and which inadvertently exposes them to being scammed by unscrupulous agents posing to help them get metered easily. With this new process, we are providing a more customer-centric approach to metering.”
