About Kaduna Electric (KAEDCO)

Kaduna Electric serves Kaduna, Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara. Its network covers Kaduna city and Zaria, the state capitals of Sokoto, Birnin Kebbi and Gusau, and communities across the North-West.

On Mabro you can buy KAEDCO prepaid tokens and pay KAEDCO postpaid bills from your wallet. The app checks your meter or account number with Kaduna Electric before you pay, shows you the customer name to confirm, and delivers prepaid tokens instantly in the app and by SMS.

Is KAEDCO your DisCo?

Kaduna, Kebbi, Sokoto and ZamfaraKaduna, Zaria, Kafanchan, Sokoto, Birnin Kebbi and Gusau

Kano, Katsina and Jigawa are served by Kano Electricity (KEDCO), and the FCT and Niger by AEDC. If you live near Kaduna's borders with those states, confirm your DisCo from a bill or receipt.

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: KEDCO (Kano Electricity) · AEDC (Abuja Electricity).

How to buy a KAEDCO prepaid token on Mabro

  1. Open Electricity

    Tap Electricity on the Mabro home screen.

  2. Choose Kaduna Electric and Prepaid

    Select Kaduna Electric (KAEDCO) from the provider list, then Prepaid.

  3. Enter your KAEDCO meter number

    The app validates it with Kaduna Electric and shows the customer name and address. Make sure it is yours.

  4. Enter the amount and confirm

    The minimum for KAEDCO is shown in the app. Confirm with your 6-digit PIN.

  5. Get your token instantly

    Your 20-digit KAEDCO token appears in the app and by SMS. Load it on your meter.

Save your KAEDCO meter as a beneficiary and your next purchase takes a few taps.

Paying a KAEDCO postpaid bill

If you are on a postpaid Kaduna Electric account, choose Postpaid instead, enter the account number from your KAEDCO bill, check the customer name, and pay the bill amount or more. The payment is applied to your KAEDCO account and recorded in your Mabro history with a reference — keep it in case Kaduna Electric's records take time to update.

Loading your KAEDCO token

On most KAEDCO 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.

KAEDCO tariff bands

Like every DisCo, Kaduna 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 KAEDCO 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 Kaduna Electric through its official customer care channels. More in our guide to tariff bands.

KAEDCO 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 Kaduna 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 Kaduna Electric if it is an outage or fault.
  • Estimated or disputed bill: complain to Kaduna Electric's customer care with your account number and keep the complaint reference; unresolved complaints can be escalated to NERC's Forum Offices.
