“EEDC Announces Free Prepaid Meter Upgrades”

“Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) Announces Free Prepaid Meter Upgrades for Customers Within South-East Franchise Network”

The Head, Corporate Communications of EEDC, Mr Emeka Ezeh, made this known to newsmen on Wednesday in Enugu.

Ezeh said that it was regrettable that some yet-to-be-identified individuals were going about extorting unsuspecting customers of their money to have their meters upgraded.

According to him, this is wrong and it does not represent the company’s position and is unacceptable.

“EEDC further reiterates that the prepaid meter upgrade is free and at no cost to customers.

“Customers are urged to ignore any such proposal from anyone asking them to pay any amount for their meters to be upgraded.

“The company advises that such action should be reported to EEDC through its Whistle Blowing line: 08146026678,” he said.
