Submit Your Tax Identification Details by Feb 20, IKEDC Warns Customers
The Ikeja Electric Distribution Company (IKEDC) has directed customers to provide identification details to ensure seamless electricity billing on or before February 20, in line with the Nigeria Tax Act (2025).
In a public notice on Wednesday, the electricity distribution company (DisCo) warned that customers who fail to submit the required details may be unable to receive electricity bills.
Ikeja Electric added that this could result in service suspension after the deadline.
According to the DisCo, the Nigeria Tax Act (2025), which came into effect on January 1, 2026, mandates that all invoices – including electricity bills must contain at least one identification detail.
The company said acceptable details include a tax identification number (TIN), Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) registration number, or national identification number (NIN).
“To enable us to comply with this statutory requirement and reflect the information on your January 2026 and subsequent bills, we kindly request that you provide any one of the above details by completing the form below,” the statement reads.
“Please note that the deadline for submission is 20th February, 2026.
“In line with the provisions of the Act, any invoice issued without this information is considered invalid. Consequently, failure to provide the required details may prevent us from generating your electricity bill and could lead to the suspension of service after the stated deadline.”
The DisCo expressed appreciation for customers’ cooperation and prompt adherence to the directive.
