The Management of Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) on Thursday wished all its esteemed customers and Nigerians a peaceful and joyful Eid-fitri.
The Company, in a goodwill message signed by the Chief Operating Officer (COO), Mr John Ayodele, congratulated Muslims for the successful completion of the Holy Month of Ramadan, which marks the end of the fasting period.
Ayodele, in the statement made available to journalists in Ibadan, reflected on the lessons of Ramadan, such as empathy, unity and mutual respect.
He said the fasting might have ended, but it was important to sustain the virtues, ideals, and values beyond the month of Ramadan.
The COO noted that this was important considering the benefits to individuals and the country at large.
He said that IBEDC had put stringent measures in place to ensure good service delivery during the holidays.
“We are aware that our customers are looking forward to enjoying power supply during the holidays, so our technical crew are available to rectify any faults that may arise during this period, and our customer care line 0700123999 will remain active to respond to complaints and reports promptly,” Ayodele said.
The COO admonished consumers not to engage quacks to fix faults on electrical installations and appliances around them.
“It is illegal and dangerous for anyone to trade, live or work near electricity installations or even tamper with them.
”Motorists are also advised to avoid driving under the influence of alcohol and observe traffic rules to prevent collision with electrical poles and other accidents,’’ he said.

“Our offices will also remain open during the public holidays from 9am-3pm; you can also email us at [email protected],” he said. (NAN)
