The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) has cautioned customers against falling prey to fraudsters on the planned upgrading of Standard Transfer Specification (STS) of prepaid meters on its network.
The Head of Corporate Communications for EEDC, Emeka Eze, in a statement said that the upgrade will be free of charge, and at no cost to customers.
According to Ezeh, the warning became necessary because of information reaching the Company about the activities of some corrupt individuals who are extorting unsuspecting customers in the name of upgrading their meters.
In his own words, “the process of upgrading will be simply by punching into the meter the Key Change Tokens (KCT), which will be provided to the customers alongside the credit token, when they go to recharge their meters.”
