The Head, Corporate Communication, Emeka Ezeh, in a statement on Friday advised customers to promptly pay their electricity bills before the disconnection team gets to their premises.
He said failure to do so would attract a reconnection fee in addition to the outstanding amount.
The statement reads, “We wish to inform its esteemed customers that it will be embarking on massive disconnection of indebted customers.
