Stop calling us NEPA, it shows you dont want electricity - Discos spokesman

The Electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) in Nigeria has called on Nigerians to stop calling them NEPA.

Sunday Oduntan, executive director of research and advocacy, Association of Nigerian Electricity Distributors (ANED), made the call while speaking on a programme on TVC.

“I understand how Nigerians feel when it comes to paying more for anything. But we also want Nigerians to understand the following. Number one, stop calling us NEPA,” Oduntan said.

“The more you call us NEPA, the more it shows that you don’t know that anything has changed in this country."

Oduntan added that those calling them NEPA are not in need of change nor electricity.

“We are DisCos, but we are not dancing DisCos. We are distribution companies. PHCN is dead, NEPA is dead," he stated".
