In his words: “As a customer-oriented company, we are constantly developing initiatives and services that deliberately bring us closer to the customers, right where they are, as individuals. This is just one of the ways we can also delight them and earn their confidence as well. So, if they have something to tell us, it is also right that they do so at their convenience,”
Ofulue explained that integrating the service on various operating systems provides seamless access, via mobile devices, tablets and desktops, to IE customer care representatives. “So, they speak to us conveniently while we listen. Our customers deserve this type of access, and we are pleased to provide it”, he said.

In a similar development, Ikeja Electric has unveiled plans to roll out “Do-It-Yourself” POS terminals in all of her six (6) Business Units to allow paying customers process their payments on secure terminals by themselves. The pilot terminal deployed at the company’s Corporate Headquarters is already well received with several customers seen processing their bill payments on their own.
Ofulue further urged customers to take advantage of these solutions which has been put in place by IE to promote excellent service delivery.
