Getting outrageous light bill from Ikeja Electric Distribution Company (IKEDC) is already a thing of the past with the new PHCN prepaid meters being distributed and installed by the Ikeja Electric Distribution Company (IKEDC). Gone are the days of estimated bills, now you pay for what you use as we are now in the era of per second billing, great achievement though its been long overdue considering the billions of US dollars being injected into the sector by past administrators till date.

This is to remind you that: Oseni Crescent, Ayobo area where we reside has been in darkness going beyond a week to date and no information regarding the situation has been communicated to us.
I think we should at least know the challenges.

Hi there my name is Abdullahi from ilupeju lagos. pls how i can i get a prepaid meter and the cost?
you cannot personally walk into any PHCN’s office to buy the IKEDC prepaid meter, it is being distributed freely the government. So when it is the turn of your Zone, you will definitely get it. You just have to be patient
