About Ibadan Electricity (IBEDC)
Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company has the largest network area of any Nigerian DisCo, spanning Oyo, Ogun, Osun and Kwara and reaching into parts of Niger, Ekiti and Kogi. It serves major cities such as Ibadan, Abeokuta, Osogbo and Ilorin, along with university towns like Ile-Ife and Ogbomoso.
On Mabro you can buy IBEDC prepaid tokens and pay IBEDC postpaid bills from your wallet. The app checks your meter or account number with Ibadan Electricity before you pay, shows you the customer name to confirm, and delivers prepaid tokens instantly in the app and by SMS.
Is IBEDC your DisCo?
| Area served | Main cities and towns |
|---|---|
| Oyo, Ogun, Osun and Kwara, with parts of Niger, Ekiti and Kogi | Ibadan, Abeokuta, Osogbo, Ilorin, Ijebu-Ode, Ogbomoso, Oyo and Ile-Ife |
Ogun State is shared: most of Ogun is on IBEDC, but some areas bordering Lagos — such as parts of Agbara, Ota and Sango — may be on Eko or Ikeja Electric. In the south-west, always check your bill or receipt before buying.
Coverage is a general guide; DisCo boundaries do not always follow state lines. Your bill, meter card or a previous token receipt names your DisCo. Neighbouring DisCos: IKEDC (Ikeja Electric) · EKEDC (Eko Electricity) · BEDC (Benin Electricity).
How to buy an IBEDC prepaid token on Mabro
Open Electricity
Tap Electricity on the Mabro home screen.
Choose Ibadan Electricity and Prepaid
Select Ibadan Electricity (IBEDC) from the provider list, then Prepaid.
Enter your IBEDC meter number
The app validates it with Ibadan Electricity and shows the customer name and address. Make sure it is yours.
Enter the amount and confirm
The minimum for IBEDC is shown in the app. Confirm with your 6-digit PIN.
Get your token instantly
Your 20-digit IBEDC token appears in the app and by SMS. Load it on your meter.
Save your IBEDC meter as a beneficiary and your next purchase takes a few taps.
Paying an IBEDC postpaid bill
If you are on a postpaid Ibadan Electricity account, choose Postpaid instead, enter the account number from your IBEDC bill, check the customer name, and pay the bill amount or more. The payment is applied to your IBEDC account and recorded in your Mabro history with a reference — keep it in case Ibadan Electricity's records take time to update.
Loading your IBEDC token
On most IBEDC keypad meters, type all 20 digits and press Enter (on some models it is # or a coloured key). On split meters, use the indoor unit. If the meter shows "Reject", "Used" or asks for key change tokens, read our step-by-step guide to loading a prepaid meter token.
IBEDC tariff bands
Like every DisCo, Ibadan Electricity places each feeder in a NERC tariff band from A to E, based on the hours of supply it is expected to deliver. Band A has the most hours and the highest price per unit. Your band is set by IBEDC for your feeder; it does not depend on where or how you buy your token. If your supply regularly falls well short of your band's promise, raise it with Ibadan Electricity through its official customer care channels. More in our guide to tariff bands.
IBEDC troubleshooting
- Token not received: check your Mabro history — the token is shown there. If it is missing after 2 minutes, contact support with the reference.
- Token rejected: re-enter it slowly, and confirm you chose Ibadan Electricity (not a neighbouring DisCo) and the right meter number.
- Units but no light: that is a supply issue, not a token issue. Check whether neighbours are off, and contact Ibadan Electricity if it is an outage or fault.
- Estimated or disputed bill: complain to Ibadan Electricity's customer care with your account number and keep the complaint reference; unresolved complaints can be escalated to NERC's Forum Offices.
