meters free of charge in the first batch of the deployment.

said the company is expecting the delivery of more meters before year
end which shall also be deployed to its teeming customers in Kaduna,
Sokoto, Zamfara and Kebbi, its franchise states.

homes as it is a better way of accurately reading the amount of energy
consumed by customers and will ensure customers only pay for what they
consume.
