YEDC Urges Customers to Report Power Thieves, Warns Against Non-Payment as 6,000 Prepaid Meters Set for Distribution Across Four States
The Yola Electricity Distribution Company (YEDC) has urged customers across its operational areas to report unregistered electricity users, warning that turning a blind eye is tantamount to self-sabotage.
Speaking during a stakeholders’ sensitization meeting in Jalingo, Taraba State, YEDC Regional Manager, Aliyu Aminu, explained that unregistered users who enjoy power without paying for it place an unfair financial burden on paying customers.
“If you know one or two persons who are not registered with us but are enjoying power supply, you’re only cheating yourself,” he said. “When energy costs are shared, you’ll end up paying for those people since they don’t receive bills. That’s why you need to help us by reporting them—it’s also in your best interest.”
Aminu also advised customers to settle their electricity bills fully and on time, warning that failure to do so could lead to disconnection.
In a bid to improve transparency and billing accuracy, the regional manager revealed that YEDC expects to receive around 6,000 prepaid meters by the end of April. The meters will be distributed across Taraba, Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe states.
