…Residents Encouraged to Embrace Prepaid Meters for a Stable Electricity Supply
Tope OYEKAN –
The Light Up Iperu Scheme Management Board has appealed to all residents of the town to promptly pay their electricity bills to the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company Limited.
The Chairman of the board, Prince Wale OYEKOYA, made this appeal in Iperu on Tuesday. His appeal follows the stable electricity supply that the town has enjoyed for almost two weeks and the request from the electricity distribution company for consumers to regularly pay their electricity bills. This will allow the company to recoup its investment while sustaining uninterrupted power supply to the town.
He also urged all homeowners to embrace the installation of prepaid meters, as this will enhance accurate and effective metering of energy consumption and usage.
It should be noted that the board, in response to public outcry over erratic and inconsistent power supply in Iperu, engaged with the management of the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company Limited, the Transmission Company of Nigeria, the Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo ABIODUN, CON, as well as the Honourable Minister of Power, Mr. Adebayo ADELABU, among other stakeholders. The improved power supply currently being experienced in the town is a result of these engagements.
The board expressed its appreciation to the minister and governor for their interventions and also thanked the transmission and distribution companies for the enhanced power supply to Iperu.
To consolidate this development, the board will embark on a sensitization program, which includes courtesy visits to Royal Fathers, meetings with Ward Heads and Community Development Associations, and a town hall meeting with various stakeholders.
Key issues for discussion during the proposed sensitization include regular payment of bills by electricity consumers, effective metering, security of power infrastructure, and support and donations to the board.
