The Chief Operating Officer of the Kaduna Electric, Abubakar Sadiq Mohammed, has assured customers of the Company, especially those on tariff Bands D and E, that the Company shall ensure fairness in power distribution in accordance with regulatory provisions.
He made the assertion in Kaduna while receiving stakeholders and community leaders from Hayin Malam Bello, Rigasa, Asikolaye, Sabon Garin Tudun Wada and Unguwar Sunusi in his office.
The COO said that the commitment of Kaduna Electric to ensuring that all customers of the Company receive the minimum hours of supply as prescribed by the Service Based Tariff, SBT, regulation is unwavering.
“We shall not only ensure fairness in all our operations, but shall also ensure full compliance with the SBT regime; while we are complying with the regulatory directive as it affects customers on Bands A & B, we shall not neglect those on lower Bands, like D & E.
