Yesterday, I lamented on the ill treatment I received from the Kano Electricity Distribution Company, KEDCO, which denied me electricity for two weeks through no fault of mine. My post got to the attention of KEDCO management through a friend, Kabir Daiyabu M.
One of the management staff, Alh. Nasir B. Salis, Head, Corporate Intelligence & Enforcement, promptly took up the matter and called me to find out more about the issue. I told him what happened and he promptly apologized on behalf of the company. He assured that everything would be rectified as soon as possible.
True to his word, a team of the staff of the company today went and retrieved my meter from my neighbour's house and fixed it back to my house.
It could be recalled that KEDCO removed my meter about two weeks ago and fixed it in my neighbour's house following a mix-up. And because the one they replaced my meter with was indebted to the company, I couldn't purchase electricity units and therefore had no electricity for the past two weeks.
But the quick intervention of Alh. Nasir has restored electricity back to my house within 24 hours of reading my post.
This has certainly restored my confidence in KEDCO. I believe that there are plenty of good people out there with tremendous goodwill, who are willing to do their jobs as it should be done.
And the courtesy with which he handled the issue earned him my respect. Such kind of people are rare and they're Nigeria's hope...
