The praise came during the inaugural customer engagement session held under the newly established Ajele District within EKEDC’s service network. The Ajele District, carved out of the existing Islands District, was created to foster stronger relationships with residents in key Lagos Island communities such as Iga Idunganran, Oba of Lagos Palace, Adeniji Adele, Idumagbo, Broad Street, Lewis, Marina, Leventis, Onikan, King George, and Isale-Eko.

connections and the use of unauthorised technicians, encouraging them instead to report faults through o0cial EKEDC customer service channels.

Acting CEO of EKEDC, Rekhiat Momoh, represented at the event by CFO Joseph Esenwa, reiterated the company’s commitment to deepening community engagement and improving customer experience.

He expressed appreciation for the turnout, especially by the Oba of Lagos’ delegation. Among other topics raised were concerns over estimated billing practices and clarity on current prepaid metering processes.

Addressing these, Mr. Esenwa explained: “At Eko DisCo, we currently operate two metering schemes approved by the regulator: the Meter Asset Provider(MAP) scheme and the Meter Acquisition Fund (MAF) initiative.

The MAF, introduced under the Presidential Metering Initiative (PMI), aims to provide prepaid meters—currently prioritizing Band ‘A’ customers—by channelling government-backed funding through MAP providers to address metering shortfalls.”

In his closing remarks, Mr. Esenwa appealed to customers to assist in identifying individuals responsible for energy theft and to report such activities, emphasizing the collective role of the community in safeguarding electricity infrastructure and improving service delivery.
