The management of Jos Electricity Distribution Plc has pledged to distribute 400,000 to customers within the shortest period in its franchise area comprising Plateau, Bauchi and Benue State.

This was disclosed Thursday in Jos by the Managing Director, Engr Abdo Bello Mohammed during an interactive session with vendors handling the company’s Meters Asset Providers (MAP) programme.

Engr Mohammed who decried the slow speed with which the meter vendors were going about customer metering said more efforts should be put in place towards achieving the metering goals of the company.

Mohammed said: “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 safeguard our revenue”.

He, therefore, requested all the vendors to submit to him their meters deployment plans for 2023 before the end of Next week saying that all their plans must be strictly adhered to.

Engr Mohammed who expressed optimism that most of the company’s customers would soon be metered said MAP was introduced to ensure access to meters by customers to eradicate billing disputations. 

The representatives of the MAP companies committed to improving their metering speed.
