The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC) Plc, Mr. Deolu Ijose, has cautioned Nigerians against energy theft and vandalism in its franchise states saying it is not only detrimental to the company but also to the nation at large.
This was contained in a press statement made available to Journalists in Benin City by its Head, Branding and Corporate Communications, Mrs Evelyn Gbiwen.
Mr. Ijose promised that BEDC would play its part in distributing quality electricity to its customers all over its franchise states during the celebration period.
Ijose also enjoined customers and the general public to support BEDC even as she strives to fulfil her commitment to her customers.
The MD made it known that BEDC was doing her best to get rid of corrupt elements within the system who would prey on unsuspecting customers to fatten their pockets, encouraging customers to report any act of corruption by any staff member.
He assured customers that service would continue to be available even as the country celebrates, saying that the 24/7 call centre numbers were open and that technical personnel were also available at the various offices to resolve any technical complaints.
He further called for prayers for Nigeria even as the country celebrates her 63 independence anniversary which is a milestone event, stating his belief in the prosperity of Nigeria and the Nigerian people.
