IBEDC LAUNCHES NEW BILLING SYSTEM

IBEDC LAUNCHES NEW BILLING SYSTEM

The management of Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) has launched a new billing system that is “geared towards meeting the expectations of its valued customers across the franchise.”

The company said the billing system, tagged EMS -Electricity Management System, provides an online real time payment platform that enables customers to make payments of their electricity bills at any IBEDC designated payment center and service hub across the IBEDC franchise coverage area.

The new billing platform also features a customer relations management system that seamlessly integrates with IBEDC’s call centers for superior customer service delivery. Apart from offering a one-stop billing platform with robust content, the upgraded bill form comes in a new and attractive A4 paper format, containing comprehensive customer information, detailed energy bill breakdown and summary, energy consumption trend analysis, as well as NERC’s contact address and contact phone numbers.

Customer bills will now be made available through SMS and an e-mail, ensuring that billing information is made available in a convenient and secure manner, the company added.

The MD/CEO, John Donnachie, explaining the reason for this business strategy at a meeting recently said: “IBEDC is positioning itself to provide quality service at every customer touch point beginning with a billing methodology that will put an end to the age long controversial billing that is not only largely unacceptable and unreliable, but is also one of the inherited albatrosses of the past. We want to make our valued customers pay for the exact quantum of energy they consume’.

He further stated that IBEDC within a short while would launch a comprehensive online (web/telephone) based vending solution that offers qualitatively services to its prepaid customers, while enabling them to vend energy from any part of Nigeria.

Deolu Ijose, the IBEDC Chief Commercial Officer, added that customer complaints would be significantly reduced as IBEDC embarks on a transformational journey to positively change the lives of its customers through the provision of customer friendly and value added services.

The new EMS billing system kicks off within the Ibadan metropolis in the first week of September 2016 and is expected to be extended beyond the Ibadan metropolis in the first week of October 2016.

The entire IBEDC franchise will be comprehensively serviced by the new billing system on or before the 30th of November 2016 and our esteemed customers are implored to accommodate and not be alarmed when the new types of bills are being distributed in their respective neighborhoods and communities.

Australia election too close to call

Australia's election is too close to call and the final result may not be known for some time as counting continues in tightly run seats.

It is unclear if the ruling Liberal-National has won the 76 lower house seats it needs to form a ruling majority.

If it has not, it will need support from minor parties and independents to hold on to power.

The Labor Party will not gain enough seats to form government.

But it has improved strongly on its 2013 election result of 55 lower house seats, making particularly strong gains in Tasmania and New South Wales.

'Labor is back'

Opposition Leader Bill Shorten told party faithful at a function in Victoria that the close result was a vindication of Labor's policies.

"There is one thing for sure - the Labor Party is back," he said.

"Three years after the Liberals came to power in a landslide they have lost their mandate. And Mr Turnbull's economic program, such as it was, has been rejected by the people of Australia, whatever happens next week."

Labor was decimated at the 2013 election, when Tony Abbott led the party.

Postal and pre-poll votes are now being counted as a number of important seats go down to the wire.

More than 10 million people cast ballots on Saturday, on top of four million who voted early.

All 150 seats in Australia's lower house, the House of Representatives, are up for grabs at the election, as are 76 seats in Australia's upper house, the Senate.

Minor party success

Results so far suggest Australians voted in large numbers for independents and minor parties.

Senator Nick Xenophon has been pegged as a potential kingmaker after his newly formed political party took the lower house South Australian seat of Mayo, formerly a safe Liberal seat.

Mr Xenophon is expected to be returned to the Senate and his party may gain additional upper house seats, particularly in South Australia.

Pauline Hanson's One Nation party has polled strongly in Queensland and although it has not won a lower house seat, its preferences have tended to flow to the opposition Labor Party.

Ms Hanson, who gained notoriety for her anti-immigration views in the 1990s, told the Nine Network that, based on early results, she was likely to secure two spots in the Senate.

Opposition Leader Bill Shorten's claims that the government intended to dismantle Australia's public health system, Medicare, was widely being credited with creating a late swing to Labor.
