” you must change the fortunes of the company for good. We are going to task all of you on KPIs. We will empower you to do your work”, he asserted.

He, therefore, charged staff to ensure that customers enjoy a qualitative supply of electricity regularly as a precursor to customer satisfaction.

Engr Mohammed called on staff to enhance the collection efficiency of the company by ensuring that customers pay for their consumed energy when due adding that indolence would not be tolerated.

The Managing Director who advised indiscipline staff to change for the better declared that bad eggs would be weeded out of the system.

Responding on behalf of the staff of Jos Metro, the Regional Manager, Alhaji Sarki Suleiman promised that the region would not disappoint the management in terms of collection efficiency.

It will be recalled that those confirmed have had their confirmation stalled for close to two years instead of the mandatory six months.
