The Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) Management has metered over 40 000 customers under its phase zero plan with 47,747 to get meters in July.
KEDCO, in a statement by Head, Corporate Communications, Ibrahim Sani Shawai, the phase has a target of 87,747 meters to be installed, and out of that, over 40,000 have been metered, and we hope to complete the phase by the end of July.
“The renewed effort towards metering all customers in our franchise is propelled by our desire to effectively serve them while minimizing, if not eliminating, all complaints related to estimated billing in our franchise.
“It is in line with this desire that we keep meeting with critical stakeholders like the vendors to ensure that all challenges slowing the metering programme in our franchise are removed to benefit everyone in the Kano franchise.” the statement said.
KEDCO also cautioned customers against rejecting meters or deliberately damaging their meters as those found perpetrating the act will be sanctioned accordingly.
“We assure all those who are yet to be metered that we will get to them within the shortest time possible.
“We also appeal to our numerous customers to be vigilant towards preventing attempts at sabotaging metering in their communities”, the statement added.
