The Electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) have revealed that lack of Gas was responsible for the power outage witnessed across the country on Wednesday.

The DisCos said various gas-fired grids in the country were not getting enough gas supply, leading to low allocation to electricity distribution companies.

One of the distribution companies, the Eko Electricity Distribution Company told its customers, Via a post on its social media handles that it was not getting enough allocation from generation due to gas shortages and other related issues.

It message reads: “Kindly be informed that the present reduction in power supply across our network is due to gas shortages and other related issues arising from the generating companies.

“We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused even as we work with our partners for a speedy resolution,”

Affirming the position of EKEDC, the Federal Ministry of Power reposted an update on its X handle,  that the grids are not getting the required gas supply to generate enough power.

A keen observation of the epileptic power supply since December, already indicated that the national grid has dropped drastically but the companies saddled with the responsibility seem not to be ready to take responsibility. However,  other distribution companies at the receiving end of the situation are being affected by the development.

This was the situation in the  Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company when recently, replying to outcries from its customers, it said DisCos was not getting enough allocation to serve them.

According to Busola Tunwase, IBEDC’s spokesperson,  the erratic power supply was a result of load shedding and reduced allocation.

“If we get the supply, we have to give it out. If we don’t get it, we cannot give it. Electricity is to our benefit. If we give you a 24-hour supply, you will pay us our money. It is an allocation issue. DisCos are not getting enough allocation” she said.

It is important to note that Nigerians have taken to different media platforms to complain over the sharp drop in power supply since the Yuletide season.
