In an advertorial seen by LEADERSHIP, the management of the power distribution company said, “The Abuja Electricity Distribution Plc (AEDC) is constrained to do this publication with the details of Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies with long outstanding unpaid bills for services rendered to them through the provision of electricity supply in that our previous attempts to make them honour their obligations have not achieved the desired result.

“The relevant MDAs are hereby given notice that AEDC shall after the expiration of 10 days from the date of this publication, that is, after Wednesday, 28th February 2024, embark on disconnection of our services to them until they discharge their obligations to us by paying their debts,” it read.

This is as electricity distribution companies (DisCos) continue to grapple with poor revenue collections nationwide.
