PETITION ON PERSISTENT BLACKOUT AND EXTORTION OF CUSTOMERS BY IKEJA ELECTRIC IN IKORODU.

Dear Sir/Ma,

The IKORODU AMBASSADORS GROUP on behalf of the people of Ikorodu Division who are customers of IKEJA Electric (IE) Distribution Company present this petition with reference to the above-mentioned matters.

We have chosen to notify your company and its management of the untold hardships, exploitation and extortion our co-citizens and people in Ikorodu suffers at the hands of IE.

The persistent power outages and extortion have gone for years with no efforts made by the management of Ikeja Electric to correct this anomaly.

We propose as a way forward these resolutions:

(a) Ikeja Electric will henceforth agree to a supply of 18-20 hours of electricity to the wards and communities in Ikorodu Local Government Area/LCDA.

(b) Ikeja Electric will stop henceforth the issuing of estimated charges and bills to customers in Ikorodu Division.

(c) Ikeja Electric will metre buildings in Ikorodu in compliance with the directives of the National Electricity Regulation Commission.

The Ikorodu Ambassadors Group will hereby appreciate your swift response to this complaint/request so as to register peace in the mind of residents in Ikorodu Division and to anticipate a favorable change in power supply to the people of Ikorodu.

Thank you.
Rasheed A. Fatuga
