Bada Jindal Journal of Business Research, 2021, vol. 10, issue 2, 238-250 Abstract: This work studies the satisfaction experienced by electricity customers in Osun, Lagos, and Ogun States during the recent lockdown occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic. The measures of the satisfaction are based on the hours of electricity supply during the period, easiness experienced for payment of prepaid bill and swiftness in faults correction of the distribution companies involved. A questionnaire was developed using Google Forms. The form was shared through various online platforms. A total of 274 electricity consumers responded to the questionnaire, but after sorting, 259 consumers across the three states were analyzed. From the responses, majority of respondents claim there was increased hours of supply during the period when compared to before the period. For prepaid customers who had reasons to pay electricity bill, majority claim it was easy paying while most of those who claimed it was not easy was because of their payment method choices, which is using designated points. Majority of those who have reasons for faults to be corrected by the distribution companies claim that there was not promptness in fault correction.
