The Kwara State Government has stressed the need for Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) to improve the current service delivery.
ROYAL NEWS reports that the move was in quest to ameliorate the standard of living of residents in Kwara,
The State Commissioner for Energy, Engr. AbdulAzeez Kola AbdulGaniy stated this on Tuesday during a courtesy visit paid by the Kwara State Regional Head, Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company, Engr. Toyin Akinyosoye and his team at the Ministry's conference hall in Ilorin, the State Capital.
He said “You need to improve on your service because we have many issues that have been brought to the Ministry by some communities, people complained about outrageous bills and unavailability of electricity, which is posing down turn to some businesses.”
AbdulGaniy added that “Now that the Electricity Act has been passed, states are now empowered to generate, transmit and distribute electricity, which may lead to competition in the energy sector among stakeholders.”
The Director, Electrical Engineering, Engr. Anthony Ayodeji Alago, noted that “the State government, in its effort to improve the well-being of its residents in terms of infrastructural development, has given transformers to communities, yet most of those communities have not been connected to the national grid by the distribution company.”
He therefore urged the newly deployed Regional Head of IBEDC to work together with the Ministry.
“Please ensure you provide more power supply in the State in order to alleviate the sufferings of the residents”, Engr. Alago appealed.
In his response, the Kwara State Regional Head, Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company, Engr. Toyin Akinyosoye, commended the State government on its symbiotic collaboration with IBEDC.
He assured that the existing network structure will be strengthened and immediate action will be taken on some issues, which also includes metering in the State.
On his entourage were the Technical Manager, Mr. Busari Suleiman, Business Manager, Mrs. Bolanle Alesinloye, among others.
