  "summary": "Ikeja Electric Plc has started refunding customers who paid for electricity meters under the Meter Asset Provider (MAP) programme. The refunds are being made through credits applied to customers' vending transactions over an approved period.\n\nCustomers can check their refund status online using their meter or account number, which provides details such as meter cost, refund count, and total refund received. Ikeja Electric also advised customers with concerns about their refunds to use official complaint channels or visit their nearest office for assistance.\n\nThe company also warned customers against hiring unauthorised electricians, citing recent incidents of fatalities linked to unauthorised electrical work. This information was shared during Ikeja Electric's September virtual stakeholder engagement, a monthly platform for customer education and operational updates.",
