KEDCO appeals to customers over N1.2b uncollected bills

The management of Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) has appealed to its customers to pay the N1.2 billion debts owe the company by for the month of January, 2020.

The Managing Director of KEDCO, Dr Jamil Isyaku Gwamna in a statement issued by the company’s Head, Corporate Communication, Ibrahim Sani Shawai, on Friday, said such huge debt at the beginning of the year is not good for the growth of power distribution in Kano, Jigawa and Katsina states.

Gwamna urged KEDCO’s customers to pay up their debt in order for the company to serve them better.

He said:  “If we had mapped out plans to improve on our achievements last year to continue to give our customers the right and timely services in terms of power supply as well as responding to complaints, the least of encouragement we also demand, is for them to pay their bills.

“Such huge debt in January for a new year is not too friendly, but we can only appeal to them to pay their bills for us to continue to serve them better. In business money is key and when we cannot get back our investment in terms of service rendered it has a way of bringing down morale.

“But we remain resolute and committed to our responsibilities while seeking more understanding from our customers so we can also fulfill our own part of the commitment to relevant stakeholders who transmit power to us,’’ the statement said.

He also called on all customers who may be having issues with the new cashless payment platform made available to meet any of KEDCO staff for speedy resolution or assistance on how to pay their bills online or through other cashless means.
