In line with its commitment to provide exceptional customer service experience to its customers, electricity distribution company, Ikeja Electric, has launched in-branch payment terminals in 20 branches of the United Bank for Africa (UBA) across its network.

 

Speaking on the launch, Head of Corporate Communications, Ikeja Electric, Felix Ofulue explained that the importance of the partnership with UBA was to afford the distribution company the opportunity to bring efficient service delivery closer to the customers.

 

The terminals, he said, would provide a secure and convenient payment option for customers resident within these locations“We are confident that the addition of these payment terminals will help us to meet more customers needs in terms of payment,” he said.

 

He stated: “We are committed to providing our customers with the greatest level of customer service and introducing these secure and convenient payment terminals is yet another aspect of our service offerings”.

 

Ofulue appealed to Customers to take advantage of the proximity of these payment terminals to avoid direct payments to any staff of Ikeja Electric because they are not commissioned to receive any cash payments of any kind.

 

The terminals are located in UBA branches in Akowonjo, Abule Egba, Ijaiye Ogba, Akute, Allen Avenue, Ogudu, Ikeja GRA, Ojodu, Ikotun and Ketu.

Uba, Oduah Approach Supreme Court For Clarification Of Judgment

Indications emerged at the weekend that the nine federal lawmakers repre­senting Anambra State on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the National Assembly, in­cluding Senators Andy Uba and Stella Oduah may return to the Supreme Court this week for clarification regard­ing their status with respect to its judgment on the leader­ship crisis rocking the party in the state.

Interestingly, Chief Chris Ubah, John Emeka, Annie Okonkwo and others on the list of Ejike Oguebego-led national executive of the party, who got judgment of the Supreme Court, have approached the Independent National Electoral Commis­sion (INEC) to issue them Certificates of Return as elected senators and House of Representatives members for Anambra State.

Already, Uba and Oduah have written to INEC insist­ing that the judgment did not affect their seats in the Na­tional Assembly.

Sources said that the motion seeking clarification of the judgment became nec­essary in view of the insinua­tions that the lawmakers may have lost their seats by the judgment of the apex court.

In a letter addressed to the Chairman of INEC by their lawyer, Chief Arthur Oka­for (SAN), the politicians insisted that the Supreme Court judgment delivered last Friday has not in any way rendered their seats va­cant in both chambers of the National Assembly.

The January 29 letter stated that the lawmakers urged the INEC chairman to “resist the machinations of those who are ill-motivated and bent on causing confu­sion in the system. If you find that the national ex­ecutive of PDP, which, in the case, nominated our cli­ents, then in the absence of a court order, there will be no compulsion or justifica­tion on your part to interfere with the mandate vested in our clients by the PDP and the electorate.”

They insisted that the primary election which pro­duced them as candidates for the 2015 general elec­tions was conducted by the national secretariat of the PDP as required by law and not the Anambra chapter of the PDP as being insinuated.
