The Jos Electricity Distribution Company said 76 feeders have been dedicated to the Band A scheme within Jos and environs.
In a statement on Thursday in Jos, JEDC’s Head, Corporate Communications, Dr Elijah Adakole, said this was geared towards enhancing efficiency and effectiveness in the distribution of energy to its customers.
Adakole said that the company had constituted a seven-member team for each feeder, to ensure uninterrupted power supply to customers as dictated by the Band A schedule of electricity supply.
According to him, customers are, therefore, expected to reciprocate this privilege by ensuring full and prompt payments of the bills for their consumed energy.
The JEDC spokesman further disclosed that effective November 1, the company would commence the much-anticipated Feeders Management System and the Bilateral Arrangements.
He explained that under the new arrangement, consumers would enjoy a qualitative and uninterrupted supply of electricity in consonance with their bands.
He noted that these and other initiatives were the robust mechanisms put in place by the management of JEDC to ensure maximum customer satisfaction.
“There will be nothing like partial payment for consumed energy going forward; all monthly bills must be settled in full.
“To this effect, the feeder management staff have been adequately equipped to ensure that only customers who do not default in paying for their consumed energy would be the only ones to enjoy a steady electricity supply.
”Customers are, therefore, advised to embrace the new scheme aimed at serving them better,” Adekole said.
