Disco Orders Nigerians Not To Pay For Transformer Repairs

The Gombe State customers of Jos Electricity Distribution Company (JED) have been advised not to pay anyone to fix malfunctioning electricity transformers in their local communities.

Mr. Musa Abdullahi, the Chief Security Officer of JED, revealed this, on Monday, March 4, 2024 in Gombe.

He said: “We don't collect money from communities to fix transformers so no one is expected to pay.

“For any staff to go to communities collecting N5000, N3000 or any amount per households or street is fraudulent and we frown at such.

“If you have a challenge and cannot wait for your transformers to be fixed, you write to the Managing Director through the Regional Manager that you want to support the company willingly.

“Whoever asks you for money, escalate the issue to the regional manager and we will make example of them.”
