Ikeja Electric has disclosed that it will no longer support the Unister card metre and other obsolete card metres under the Federal Government Metre Acquisition Fund (MAF) initiative.

The company made this known in a public notice on Sunday, February 2, 2025, cautioning its customers that its technology may no longer support the Unistar card metre and other outdated metres.

The electricity company stated that all eligible Band A customers will get a complimentary metre replacement under the Federal Government/NERC MAF initiative.

The initiative is also expected to ensure continued access to electricity without post-paid billing.

The company further encouraged its customers to take advantage of the opportunity as metres installed within 20 days may no longer be available.

It also directed its consumers to complete their SmartKYC registration within 48 hours to avoid service disruption.

The DisCo warned that customers who did not comply will be moved to direct supply due to incompatibility issues.

A previous report by Legit.ng disclosed a new policy by Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) will prevent low-income earners from enjoying electricity.

The company has barred some customers within its network from recharging below N5,000 for Band A users and N2,000 for others. Consumers under the DisCo are forces to recharge a maximum of N5,000 and below, if the prefer to pay less.

IBEDC asked customers to settle their outstanding debts to avoid service disruption.

It recently issued a public notice to inform its customers about an update on electricity recharges.

The DisCo stated that the new payment policy applies only to its customers and is already in effect.
