The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) Plc announced that starting Monday, June 3, 2024, it will disconnect all customers with unpaid electricity bills in its service areas.
The company had previously urged customers to pay their outstanding energy bills to prevent immediate disconnection.
A few months ago, Abuja DisCo issued a disconnection notice to the Presidential Villa and 85 other ministries, departments, and agencies under the federal and state governments.
In response, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu promptly ordered the immediate payment of the outstanding electricity bill to the power company.
The utility company underscored the significance of meeting payment deadlines to maintain efficient and reliable service.
They highlighted that prompt payment of electricity bills is vital for their ongoing operations and the improvement of their infrastructure, which is crucial for providing uninterrupted service to the communities.
