Ikeja Electric, a prominent electricity distribution company in Nigeria, has announced a significant policy change set to take effect from November 1, 2023.
According to their official Twitter statement, customers who wish to receive two sets of 20-digit tokens required for loading energy tokens will now be required to link their National Identification Number (NIN) to their meter.
The move aligns with the growing emphasis on NIN linkage across various sectors in Nigeria, driven by the government’s commitment to creating a unified and secure identity system.
Ikeja Electric has called upon its customers to proactively link their NIN to their meters to ensure uninterrupted access to energy tokens. The requirement is expected to enhance the security and reliability of the energy token distribution process.
As NIN linkage becomes a pivotal element of service access, Ikeja Electric encourages its customers to initiate the linkage process promptly to avoid any potential disruptions in their energy services.
Detailed information on how to link the NIN to meters has been made available on the company’s official channels.
This policy change signifies Ikeja Electric’s commitment to complying with regulatory directives and improving the overall customer experience.
It also reinforces the broader national initiative to foster a secure and efficient identity management system, which has gained increasing significance in various sectors across the country.
