COVID-19 Lockdown: ‘Preload Your Meters For Up to Two Months, In Advance,’ Ikeja Electric Tells Customers

In order to avoid any outage that may arise due to the ‘unpredictability of the current situation’, Ikeja Electric company has advised its smartcard customers under Oshodi, Shomolu and Ikeja Business Units, BU, to preload their meters in advance, for up to two months, at the self-service terminal in its offices.

The power distribution company said it has put plans in place to ensure its customers enjoy power supply throughout this very challenging time.

“In the event that there is a statewide shutdown to contain the spread of the Covid-19, some of our Smart Card customers may have challenges leaving their residents to vend.

“We therefore use this medium to urge our smart card customers to preload their vending cards. To compliment statewide efforts, we will open some of our offices to ensure our customers can vend.

“Further information on these locations will be communicated soon.

“This message is for customers that vend using meters that require smart cards. Other customers can vend from the comfort of their mobile phones or computers by visiting other preferred payment channels.”
