The Managing Director of Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO), Dr Jamilu Isiyaku Gwamna, has said the intervention of the federal government in mass metering will address several problems confronting the electricity sector including energy theft.
He said the intervention would also ensure speedy and equitable distribution of the meters across the federation and will regulate the issue of bypassing meters in the supply of power.

Speaking during a three-day stakeholders’ engagement organised by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) in Kano, the KEDCO boss denied that the disco was using an adulterated meter which, according to users, has high speed and has since been nicknamed “Mai Barewa” in Kano.
Also speaking, a General Manager in NERC, Shamsuddeen Zubairu Mahmoud, said part of the reason for the engagement was to interact directly with stakeholders, especially energy consumers’ complaints on the services being rendered to them by the disco.
“We will sit with the customers and also with the DisCos or their representatives so that we can resolve these complaints,” he said.
