The Kwara State Government on Tuesday stressed the need for Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company to improve the current service delivery.
The state Commissioner for Energy, AbdulAzeez AbdulGaniy, stated this in Ilorin during a courtesy visit by the state Regional Head, Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company, Toyin Akinyosoye and his team.
He said such improvement would ameliorate the standard of living of residents in Kwara,
Mr AbdulGaniy said there was need to improve on service because there were many issues brought to the ministry by some communities.
“People complained about outrageous bills and unavailability of electricity, which is pulling down some businesses. Now that the Electricity Act has been passed, states are now empowered to generate, transmit and distribute electricity, which may lead to competition in the energy sector among stakeholders,” he said.
The Director, Electrical Engineering, Anthony Alago, noted that the state government, in its effort to improve the wellbeing of its residents in terms of infrastructure development, had given transformers to communities.
He observed that most of those communities had not been connected to the national grid by the distribution company.
He, therefore, urged the newly deployed regional head of IBEDC to work together with the ministry.
“Please ensure you provide more power supply in the state to alleviate the sufferings of the residents,” Mr Alago appealed.
In his response, Mr Akinyosoye commended the state government for its symbiotic collaboration with IBEDC.
He assured that the existing network structure would be strengthened and immediate action would be taken on some issues, including metering in the state.
