Give Reasonable Bills To Hospitals, Waterworks, Kwara Tells IBEDC
Kwara State government has asked the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) to give electricity consumers in the state, especially hospitals and waterworks reasonable bills.
It made specific appeal for the facilities owned by the state government such as hospitals and waterworks.
The commissioner for energy, Engr. AbdulAzeez AbdulGaniy, made the call when he visited IBEDC’s regional head, Engr. Toyin Akinyosoye, in Ilorin, the state capital.
AbdulGaniy said the state government has always complemented the IBEDC services by paying the electricity bills of all government’s facilities promptly, constructing feeder lines and providing various communities with transformers and other electrical equipment to enhance their access to regular power supply.
“Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has been investing hugely in prompt payment of electricity bills of all government owned facilities, construction of feeder lines, distribution of transformers and other electrical materials to communities where needed, which is part of his campaign promises on infrastructural development”, he said.
“We expect you (IBEDC) to improve in your services to the people of the state as this will encourage the government to support you more”, he added.
In his response, the regional head of IBEDC , Engr. Toyin Akinyosoye, said the allocation of power supply is currently limited because of network problems and hoped that things would improve as soon as they fix the problems.
He pointed out that the new billing tariff (225/KWh) for customers is beyond what any power distribution company can modify, appealing to all customers to accept the new development in good faith.
“Many feeders have been downgraded because they have low power supply. I can assure all customers that when power allocation increases, they will be upgraded,” he added.
Akinyosoye confirmed the regular payment of electricity bills by the state government, commending it for its numerous support for IBEDC .
He also sought for the continued collaboration of the state government, the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) and other electricity agencies in order to improve the living standards of residents.
