The Management of Jos Electricity Distribution Plc has expressed determination to meter about 400,000 of the company’s customers within the shortest period.

In a statement by the Head, Corporate Communications, Dr Friday Adakole Elijah, noted that this was disclosed last Thursday in Jos by the Managing Director, Engr Abdo Bello Mohammed during an interactive session with vendors handling the company’s Meters Asset Providers (MAP) programme.

Engr Mohammed who decried the millipedeous speed with which the meter vendors were going about customer metering said more efforts should be put in place towards achieving the metering goals of the company.

“If you look at the number of meters installed by MAP is not impressive”, disclosed the Managing Director.

According to him, “we still have a very long way to go. We will need to expeditiously bridge the metering gap to safeguard our revenue”.

The Managing Director, therefore, requested all the vendors to submit to him their meters deployment plans for 2023 before the end of Next week saying that all their plans must be strictly adhered to.

Engr Mohammed who expressed optimism that most of the company’s customers would soon be metered said MAP was introduced to ensure access to meters by customers to eradicate billing disputations.


In their separate responses, the representatives of Mojec, Triple seven, Skyruns and Momas all promised to live up to their mandates of metering customers.
