AEDC appealed to customers to settle their debt if they must continue to enjoy uninterrupted power supply in March.
This was disclosed by Mr Jasini Mamza, AEDC Marketing Manager to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Minna.
According to NEWSDAIRY, Mamza revealed that out of the over N1.54 billion revenue target for the month of February, consumers had only paid N272 million.

He said, “When consumers pay their bills promptly, it will be the bases for sustainability as AEDC will be able to pay for the energy delivered and have the courage to request for more allocation.

“The energy delivered for the February was expected to generate over N1.54 billion revenue but the revenue collected as of Feb. 26 is just about N272 million.
“This is detrimental to any business.”
Mamza said the economic realities, including the naira redesign in the country, had taken negative toll on the people, but consumers should pay their electricity bills to enable the company serve them better.
“We solicit for your support in the payment of your outstanding/current bills to enable us sustain the improved electricity supply.
“As stakeholders, we hold you in high esteem and we will always partner with you to improve energy supply,” Mamza said.JAMB Result
