Head, Corporate Communications, EEDC who made the call in a Statement on Friday said postpaid customers were expected to pay their bills before the 15th day of subsequent month

Ezeh said they should take advantage of the ongoing discount scheme known as Accelerated Settlement of Arrears Project (ASAP) and clear their bill arrears.

He said EEDC would soon embark on on disconnection of indebted customers warning that reconnection attracted a penalty.

According to him, the current electricity bill, which is for energy consumed in the previous month, is expected to be paid by the 15th day of the succeeding month.

“Payments can be made at EEDC Cash Offices or any collection agent location. Customers must not wait for Marketers to visit before they pay their bills.

“Promptly pay your bills and save yourself the inconveniences of being disconnected or surcharged,” he said

Ezeh said EEDC was committed to delivering optimum services to customers but noted that timely and regular payment of bills was crucial for the company to sustain its operations.
