Ikeja Electric, has implored  consumers within its  network to adopt higher safety precautionary measures during the rainy season, in order to prevent electricity-related accidents.
Speaking on the need to continue its sensitization campaign and create greater awareness, the company’s Head of Corporate Communications, Felix Ofulue maintained that the safety of its customers is paramount to the business at all times.
He said: “As a responsible organization which is committed to the safety of its customers, it is pertinent to remind our valued customers of some basic guidelines that will help save lives at this time. We hope that our customers will in turn pass this information around such that more accidents are prevented and we will avoid loss of lives”.
Ofulue advised consumers to avoid conditions that can compromise the safe use of electricity, such as using wet electrical appliances; citing that the dangers associated with electricity when it gets in contact with water, especially in this period of rainy season, is very grave.
He further warned that where poles had been felled during heavy winds, that pedestrians must stay away from the area until help comes. He warned against ignoring exposed conduit wires which may result in electric shock if they come in contact with water.
