A statement by the Managing Director of the company, Kinsley Achife, on Wednesday, said electricity distribution companies provide an essential service, which was critical to the daily lives of citizens.
Achife said, “The attack on these offices not only causes damage to the property but also disrupts the provision of electricity which affects the livelihoods of many and throws communities into darkness.
“We understand that these are trying times for us all, but attacking staff who are also Nigerians and destroying electrical installations will further exacerbate the challenges. We urge the public to maintain law and order and refrain from engaging in any form of assault against electricity workers who are primarily there to support you, your homes and your businesses.”
He, therefore, assured the customers that the company was committed to providing quality services and improving its infrastructure and operations.
The managing director added that the company had strengthened its non-cash-based payment channels to reduce customer pressure, adding that, “We are also open to feedback and suggestions from the public, and will work to address any issue raised speedily.”
