“It is this healthy partnership that guarantees sustenance and development in the power sector.

“EKEDC provides an array of payment alternatives for its customers, including tokens, scratch card vouchers, which are sold by vendors and agents across its networks, Quick teller, which can be accessed on mobile devices and internet banking.

“We at Eko Distribution Company have keyed into the Federal Government’s instruction and ensure customers within our network enjoy uninterrupted power supply during the Yuletide period.

“We urge customers to support the Disco to achieve its projections of making supply 24-hours stable.

Customers within our network will begin to enjoy stable power supply when we commence our embedded generation fully,” he said.

Idemudia said that all the ongoing projects within the network were geared towards improved and effective service delivery when completed.

He stressed that availability of power supply in the country would help to combat some of the challenges confronting industries the country.
