Idemudia said that the technical crew of the company would be on standby to repair faults and ensure constant electricity supply.

He urged customers within the network to report faults resulting to darkness in the areas through the company’s hotline telephone numbers and website.

“Our men are on shift duties of 24 hours daily to make sure our customers obey the stay at home order.

“The public are hereby advised to cooperate with our staff when they see them in their area with proper means of identification ( ID card).

“The company will ensure that all faults are rectified to enable you enjoy this period of lockdown with your families with steady electricity supply.

“We are also advising customers to make use of the electricity bill payment channels to pay their bills this period,” he said. (NAN)
