The (IKEDC) has directed its customers to provide valid identification details on or before February 20, 2026, to ensure uninterrupted electricity billing in compliance with the Nigeria Tax Act (2025).
In a public notice issued on Wednesday, the electricity distribution company warned that customers who fail to submit the required information may not receive their electricity bills, a situation that could ultimately lead to service suspension after the deadline.
According to IKEDC, the Nigeria Tax Act (2025), which took effect on January 1, 2026, requires that all invoices — including electricity bills — must contain at least one approved identification detail.

Acceptable forms of identification include a Tax Identification Number (TIN), Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) registration number, or National Identification Number (NIN).
The company urged customers to comply promptly by submitting any of the listed identification details through the designated form to ensure the information is reflected on their January 2026 bills and subsequent invoices.
IKEDC further stated that invoices issued without the required identification details would be deemed invalid under the law.
As a result, customers who do not comply by February 20 may be unable to receive their bills, which could trigger service disruption.
The DisCo expressed appreciation to customers for their cooperation and timely compliance with the directive.
