The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company, or IBEDC, management has reassured customers throughout its network of its dedication to offering high-quality services over the Christmas break.
In a statement issued by the managing director, Kingsley Achife, the management urged customers to celebrate the season by emulating the self-sacrificing generosity that the birth of Christ honors.
The statement reads in part: “The Management of Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) Plc has assured customers across its network of its commitment to providing quality services during the Christmas holiday.
“The management while wishing all its customers and Nigerians a merry Christmas and New year celebrations, said the birth of Jesus Christ was an embodiment of sacrificial love, which all mankind should emulate.
“It is important that we dedicate ourselves to the service of humanity in line with the true teachings of Jesus Christ on tolerance, patience, brotherly kindness, care for the needy and love for one another.”
The Managment explained that measures had been put in place to ensure network stability and smooth operations during the holidays, as it was fully equipped to ensure that faults are cleared as fast as possible to avoid unnecessary disruption of power supply, in anticipation of customers’ expectations during the holidays.
IBEDC also issued safety advisory to its customers as a way of encouraging accident-free celebration and holidays.
On the safety advisory, the company encouraged motorist to avoid driving under the influence of alcohol and observe traffic rules to prevent collision with electrical poles and other accidents.
“Ensure proper supervision of your children and wards to prevent domestic and electrical accidents this period.
“Avoid cooking or trading under a high-tension wire, switch off all electrical appliances not in use, and please, do not engage quacks to fix any electrical faults,” IBEDC cautioned its customers.
