The contact centre, according to IKEDC’s spokesperson, Pekun Adeyanju, represents the company’s commitment to deepen the customer experience through innovative and speedy solutions to customer queries.
“We are delighted to pioneer this service in the Power sector and urge all our customers to call the numbers 0800-CALL-IKEDC and 0700-CALL-IKEDC today to experience the service and let us know how we may be of help, as we continue to work towards the goal of ensuring efficient power supply across our network in the near future,” Adeyanju said.
Adeyanju said the contact centre’s Interactive Voice Response system and multilingual platforms are designed to serve customers in English, Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa and will ensure that the voice of every customer counts whilst empowering IKEDC to provide smart solutions and sustainable customer services.
Describing the platform as “secure, efficient, convenient and user-friendly,” Adeyanju explained that the contact centre complements IKEDC’s ongoing investments in new technology, robust metering solutions and capacity building geared towards the provision of a “total customer experience” within the company’s network.
According to him, the exercise will involve a phased introduction of “customer walk-in centres” that will be fully equipped to provide prompt services to customers who decide to visit any of IKEDC’s 11 business offices in Abule-Egba, Akowonjo, Ikeja, Ikorodu, Ikotun, Ipaja, Odogunyan, Ogba, Ojodu, Oshodi and Somolu.
Adeyanju added that monitoring mechanisms and service level agreements have been built into IKEDC’s service platform to ensure high standards and opportunities to implement improvements as the company continues to engage with customers.

We remain resolute in our quest to light up Lagos by rendering the best services possible,” he stressed.
