The management of Ikeja Electric has warned that consumers who fail to procure prepaid meters would no longer enjoy electricity supply.

Chief Executive Officer of Ikeja Electric,  Mr.  Antnony Youdeowei, handed down the warning at the launch of its Meter Asset Provider (MAP) scheme in Ikorodu, Lagos.

The CEO who was represented at the flag-off ceremony by the Acting Chief Commercial Officer, Mr. Ugochukwu Obi-Chukwu, said the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) mandate was for every Disco to meter all consumers under its network, saying Ikeja Disco was all out to carry out effective implementation of the directive.

MAP is a NERC approved meter vendor whose responsibility is to fund, procure and install meters on behalf of an electricity distribution company. Under the MAP regulation, they are also expected to maintain and ensure the integrity of the meters.
