The Yola Electricity Distribution Company (YEDC) has issued a strong appeal to its customers across its service areas, urging them to report individuals using electricity without proper registration. According to the company, turning a blind eye to such practices is like cheating oneself.
Speaking during a stakeholders’ sensitization meeting held in Jalingo, Taraba State, the YEDC Regional Manager, Aliyu Aminu, emphasized that unregistered electricity users contribute to the unfair distribution of billing costs. He explained that when some people consume electricity without being billed, the financial burden falls on the registered customers.
“If you’re aware of people who are not registered with us but still enjoy power, it means you’re paying their bills indirectly,” Aminu pointed out. “To ensure fairness and transparency, we’re asking you to report such users.”
He also used the platform to encourage customers to clear their electricity bills in full and on time. According to him, failure to do so may lead to service disconnection.
In a move aimed at boosting transparency and improving billing accuracy, Aminu announced that YEDC expects to receive 6,000 prepaid meters before the end of April. These meters will be distributed across four states: Taraba, Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe.
This effort, he said, is part of YEDC’s commitment to enhance electricity service delivery and ensure that only those who pay for power actually enjoy it.
If you’re a YEDC customer, play your part in promoting fairness—report illegal power users and ensure your bills are paid on time. Stay updated with NIGPOST for more stories impacting your community!
