The Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHED) has begun the repairs of its faulty server that had hindered its customers from paying their electricity consumed  bills.

Mr John Onyi, the spokesman of PHED, disclosed this in a statement issued to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.

He said that the company’s Information Technology Department had already swung into action and expressed optimism that the repairs would soon be completed.

“The management of PHED has noticed the difficulties her esteemed customers using pre-paid and post –paid meters were encountering in vending and paying their electricity bills.
