If you are a resident of Lagos State under the Ikeja Electric Network, then this information is for you. You may have been experiencing some difficulties in recharging your prepaid meter, well, do not panic, we are here to help you out without zero stress.
To enhance security, Lagosians under the Ikeja Electric network were mandated to upgrade their meters, with failure to do so resulting in customers’ inability to load energy tokens.
You see? Your meter is not faulty.
In a new campaign that started on November 1st, IKEDC (Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company) now sends KCTs (Key Change Tokens) for upgrading STS (Standard Transfer Specification) prepaid meters after they have been linked with the National Identification Number (NIN).
To get the two unique 20-digit tokens (KTCs) for upgrading your meter, you’ll need to link your NIN to your meter at smartkyc.ikejaelectric.com/nin.
Below are the steps to link your NIN to your prepaid meter:
Step 1: Click the “Link your NIN And Meter” button
The first step in the process is to visit the Ikeja Electric official website. Look for the “Link your NIN And Meter” button and click.
This will redirect you to a dedicated portal that handles the NIN linking process.

Before kick-starting, ensure your phone number, NIN, and email address are readily available.
Double-check the accuracy of your NIN to ensure the information you provide is correct.
Step 3: Confirm You Inputted the Correct NIN Details
Once you’ve clicked the designated button, the portal will prompt you to enter your phone number, NIN, and email address.
Take a moment to review the information you’ve entered and confirm the accuracy of your NIN details.
