EFCC Lauds Mainpower DisCo For Improvement In Power Supply

The acting Zonal Director of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Aisha Abubakar Esq, has commended Mainpower Electricity Distribution Limited (MEDL) for improved service quality in Enugu State.

Mainpower, which is the subsidiary of the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC), is responsible for electricity distribution within Enugu State.

Abubakar, who is in-charge of EFCC Enugu Zonal Command, gave the commendation when the Managing Director, Mainpower, Dr Ernest Mupwaya, led his team on a courtesy visit to the EFCC in Enugu.

She also lauded Mainpower for its prompt response to fault clearing (fixing).

“I appreciate this visit and I am assuring the Mainpower team of the Commission’s readiness to collaborate in tackling the challenges facing the company, especially those relating to economic sabotage.

“I must not fail to commend Mainpower for the noticeable improvement in service delivery across the state.

“As a commission, we will urge the company not to relent in sustaining this feat and good work,” she said.

Earlier, Mupwaya said that the visit was part of Mainpower’s efforts to strengthen collaboration and build strategic partnerships with critical stakeholders within its franchise area.

“I am using this opportunity to commend EFCC for its efforts in the fight against economic crimes,” he said.

The managing director said that some of the challenges confronting the company included: habitual non-payment of electricity bills; energy theft; meter bypass; illegal connections to the network and vandalism.

He solicited the commission’s support in addressing these issues which he described as “economic sabotage”.

Mupwaya was accompanied on the visit by the Chief Commercial Officer, Mr Ikenna Akabogu; Chief Technical Officer, Mr Chimezie Chukwu; and Head of Corporate Communications, Mr Emeka Ezeh.
