About Ikeja Electric (IKEDC)
Ikeja Electric serves much of mainland Lagos — the densely populated districts north and west of the lagoon, from Ikeja and Agege to Ikorodu, Shomolu and Alimosho. It is one of the largest distribution companies in the country by number of customers, which is why "IKEDC token" is one of the most searched electricity terms in Nigeria.
On Mabro you can buy IKEDC prepaid tokens and pay IKEDC postpaid bills from your wallet. The app checks your meter or account number with Ikeja Electric before you pay, shows you the customer name to confirm, and delivers prepaid tokens instantly in the app and by SMS.
Is IKEDC your DisCo?
| Area served | Main cities and towns |
|---|---|
| Lagos (northern and western mainland) and some neighbouring parts of Ogun | Ikeja, Ikorodu, Oshodi, Shomolu, Abule Egba, Alimosho, Ogba and Agege |
Lagos is split between two DisCos. Ikeja Electric (IKEDC) covers most of the northern and western mainland; Eko Electricity (EKEDC) covers Lagos Island, Victoria Island, Ikoyi, Lekki, Ajah, Apapa, Festac, Ojo and parts of the southern mainland. If you live near the boundary — around Mushin, Surulere or Yaba, for example — check your bill or a previous receipt rather than guessing.
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: EKEDC (Eko Electricity) · IBEDC (Ibadan Electricity).
How to buy an IKEDC prepaid token on Mabro
Open Electricity
Tap Electricity on the Mabro home screen.
Choose Ikeja Electric and Prepaid
Select Ikeja Electric (IKEDC) from the provider list, then Prepaid.
Enter your IKEDC meter number
The app validates it with Ikeja Electric and shows the customer name and address. Make sure it is yours.
Enter the amount and confirm
The minimum for IKEDC is shown in the app. Confirm with your 6-digit PIN.
Get your token instantly
Your 20-digit IKEDC token appears in the app and by SMS. Load it on your meter.
Save your IKEDC meter as a beneficiary and your next purchase takes a few taps.
Paying an IKEDC postpaid bill
If you are on a postpaid Ikeja Electric account, choose Postpaid instead, enter the account number from your IKEDC bill, check the customer name, and pay the bill amount or more. The payment is applied to your IKEDC account and recorded in your Mabro history with a reference — keep it in case Ikeja Electric's records take time to update.
Loading your IKEDC token
On most IKEDC 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.
IKEDC tariff bands
Like every DisCo, Ikeja Electric 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 IKEDC 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 Ikeja Electric through its official customer care channels. More in our guide to tariff bands.
IKEDC 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 Ikeja Electric (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 Ikeja Electric if it is an outage or fault.
- Estimated or disputed bill: complain to Ikeja Electric's customer care with your account number and keep the complaint reference; unresolved complaints can be escalated to NERC's Forum Offices.
