AEDC Working To Restore Power Supply To FCE Okene

The management of Abuja Electricity Distribution Plc (AEDC) has assured that it is working to restore power supply to Federal College of Education (FCE) Okene, Kogi state.

The distribution company denied media reports alleging that it is at loggerheads with the management of tertiary institution.

AEDC chief marketing officer, Mr. Donald Etim, who made this known said that while the company acknowledged the existence of the complaint presented by the FCE, it stated that it has since swung into action by ensuring the swift repairs of the damaged transformer bearing in mind the sensitivity of the role of FCE in Nigeria, adding that till date, both parties have been in constant communication regarding the progress made on the repairs while committing to conclude the repairs within three weeks from the date of this publication.

He said, “The attention of the management of AEDC been drawn to some media reports dated 14th November 2022 alleging that the company was at loggerheads with the management of Federal College of Education (FCE) Okene, Kogi state over disruption of power supply to the Institution. We wish to reaffirm that both Company and College are working together to resolve the issue.’’

AEDC therefore uses this medium to reaffirm that the above publication is false as the company is in fact in cordial relationship with the customer as against the purported report.

The company explained that it places a high premium on its customers thus will never deliberately inflict pain or discomfort to them.

According to Etim, “This is one case we have taken very seriously. From the onset, we have broken protocol and even tagged it as top priority to get it resolved.’’
