04 August 2014, Lagos – Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company, IKEDC, said it has created an online platform to facilitate secure, convenient and more efficient payment options for IKEDC post-paid customers, for both energy and non-energy related bills.
The platform, which went live on August 1st, 2014, is available via the following options:
•IKEDC website: http://webpay.ikedc.com/pay using credit and debit cards
•Internet Banking portals of financial institutions with NIBSS e-BillsPay platform, and,
•Bank branches across Lagos State.
IKEDC said in a statement last week that the new payment process will ensure that post-paid customer accounts are credited promptly, avoiding unplanned service interruptions.
