This was disclosed at the weekend during a three-day strategy retreat organised by the management for divisional and departmental heads, alongside regional managers.
The Managing Director, Engr Hashim Ibrahim Bakori, also said the company would provide 20 more operational vehicles to enable the field staff to discharge their work more effectively.
He explained that an additional 500 Maximum Demand metres would be procured and installed for customers before July ending.
He cautioned that on no account should regional managers allow the metres to lie fallow, saying all meters supplied must be installed for customers at no cost.
The MD also directed the regional managers to ensure that all prepaid metres in their domains were pole-mounted with immediate effect.
He called on members of the public to be vigilant, saying security of the business was not a one man business even as he appealed to the people to report all suspicious movements around the facilities to the law enforcement agencies.
He said, “Yes, these facilities belong to us but the various communities are the immediate beneficiaries of our services. It therefore behooves on the communities to protect these facilities”, he said.
Engr. Hashim expressed anger over the recent vandalization of Transformers in Gangare and Bwandang areas of Jos Metro and Bukuru area.
He said some of the vandalized installations included the Gangare relief Distribution Transformer, 11kv Murtala feeder (Jos Metro), where about 8 meters each of red, yellow, blue, and neutral up riser cables were vandalized.
