If you look at the number of meters installed by MAP, it is not impressive. We still have a very long way to go
The Jos Electricity Distribution Plc (JED) has promised to provide 400,000 meters to its customers “soon”.
Mr Abdu Mohammed, the Managing Director of the company, disclosed this at a meeting with vendors handling the company’s Meters Asset Providers (MAP), programme.
Mohammed, who decried the slow pace of meter provision to customers, craved for more efforts toward achieving the metering goals of the company.
“If you look at the number of meters installed by MAP, it is not impressive. We still have a very long way to go.
“We will need to expeditiously bridge the metering gap to provide efficient and effective services and upscale our revenue
”It is our desire that we shall provide 400,000 meters to our customers soon,” he said.
The managing director asked the vendors to submit their meters deployment plans for 2023, maintaining that all plans must be strictly adhered to.
Mohammed, who expressed optimism that most of the company’s customers would soon be metered, said MAP was introduced to ease access to meters and eradicate billing disputations.
In their separate responses, the representatives of Mojec, Triple seven, Skyruns and Momas, all vendors with JED, promised to live up to their mandates of ensuring all customers were metered
