Here is how you can link your NIN to your meter number:
1. Visit https://smartkyc.ikejaelectric.com/nin
2. Click on the “Link your NIN And Meter” button.
3. Provide your phone number, NIN (National Identification Number), and email address.
4. Confirm the accuracy of your NIN details and proceed to the next step if correct.
5. Input your meter number and the verification code sent to your email, then click “submit.”
Each meter can only be linked to one NIN, except for landlords with multiple meters who can use their NIN repeatedly.
You need to link my National Identification Number (NIN) to your prepaid electricity meter number before the November 1st deadline.
This ensures an uninterrupted electricity supply and a seamless experience with your prepaid meter.
