Ikeja Electric has announced the shutdown of its customers’ billing and vending channels and infrastructures for 48 hours between July 15 and July 17, 2022, to enable it to carry out a system upgrade.
This disclosure is contained in a statement issued by the management of Ikeja Electric, where it advised its customers to buy energy ahead of the shutdown as they might not be able to access necessary information, vending and data.
Ikeja Electric in the statement noted that this is because the ability of customers to perform these functions on its platforms may be impeded during this period of upgrade, adding that their engineers will ensure the completion of the upgrade within the scheduled time as well as minimize the impact on customer experience.

And you have our KYC. No email, no SMS to inform us of this major disruption. Your customer service needs a lot of rework to improve it.
Ikeja electric customer service need to upgraded to know how to treat their customer
You should have informed us also through email or sms
This is highly unprofessional. Carrying out a major system upgrade without informing its so called “esteemed customers”. I am without light since yesterday morning because of this unprofessional behaviour of IE
And we are just getting to read this after 3days of all attempts to generate meter code failed? You have customers email addresses,KYC and even phone numbers….You should have given the notice few days to this interruption.
This is poor customer service
Plus it is July 18 and customers can still not access the platform to buy units. Typical Nigerian culture!
Today is 18th July 2022 and the Portal is still not working. Customers are still not able to recharge. This is totally unacceptable
No formal information, it’s not a good idea at all.
Restore service please, blackout since morning.. Also do away with the customer service representatives, so unprofessional no notice ahead
This information should have come 2 or a week before the schedule date and made public, but then it is still the Nigeria Factor Syndrome whats up again? Today is 18..
Nigeria will always be Nigeria… An upgrade that can be done overnight will take about a whole lifetime to do. Meanwhile, there wasn’t any thorough notification to the customers in record time.
Today is 19th yet we can’t still recharge. Ikeja electric shame on you guys. Honestly all these lousy attitude of yours needs to stop.
Today is 19th July.Portals still closed. Meanwhile,customer care agent waste our airtime,by just holding us up and not responding.This is not fare enough.I have paid since 16th July.2022. No token generator yet.
Maybe it’s urgent
As usual in Nigeria, ie have total disregard for the “esteemed customers” This is 19th July, the network is still down.
This is highly unprofessional. No formal notification as to this regard. Please, this is 19th and I can recharge. Do something fast.
Our mumu no too much
There’s nothing so strange to me relating to Nigerian electricity . is it the absence of light, and the crazy bills every time or unprofessional approach with thier customer’s. There’s God watching each and everyone of us
