Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) has reiterated that prepaid meters are free of charge under the National Mass Metering Programme (NMMP) scheme. The scheme, which started in October 2020, has witnessed many complaints from consumers claiming Distribution Companies (DisCos) were demanding money from them to get metered. However, EKEDC in a statement signed by the General Manager, Corporate Communications of the Company, Godwin Idemudia urged customers to report any individual that demands any form of payment or gratification. Meters are absolutely free and should not be paid for under the NMMP. It is our duty to serve our customers and all payments should be made through our official channels”.
