Eko   Electricity   Distribution   Company   (EKEDC)   has   received
commendations for its prompt response to fault resolution from
the White Cap Chiefs delegation of the Oba of Lagos, led by the
Obanikoro of Lagos & Ido Oluwo Ile, Chief Adesoji Ajayi-Bembe.
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.
Chief   Ajayi-Bembe   reaffirmed  the   Oba   of   Lagos’   support   for
EKEDC’s   efforts  to   curb   energy   theft,   noting   that   reducing
infractions would contribute to improved power supply across
the region. However, he also raised urgent safety concerns amid
the rainy season and called on the DisCo to enhance protective
measures—especially   against   vandalism  of   electrical   assets—
with backing from government and community stakeholders.

He urged local CDA and CDC leaders to sensitize residents against
illegal   connections   and   the   use   of   unauthorized   technicians,
encouraging them instead to report faults through o0cial EKEDC
customer service channels.
Acting CEO of EKEDC, Mrs. Rekhiat Momoh, represented at the
event   by   CFO   Mr.   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.
