​The Edo State Consumer Protection Committee has urged electricity consumers across the state to report unfair business practices and service infractions by the Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC) to ensure swift administrative intervention.

​In an official press statement released in Benin City, the committee advised residents facing challenges related to persistent power supply disruptions, arbitrary estimated billing, delayed metering installation, unnotified disconnections, and other alleged service abuses to submit formal complaints for regulatory resolution.
