Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) has pleaded with Customers in Lagos and Ogun states about the erratic power supply they are currently receiving.
In a statement, Godwin Idemudia, the General Manager of the Corporate Communication Department at EKEDC, expressed his regret.
He clarified that the national grid’s reduced load capacity was the cause of the erratic power supply that was being experienced.
According to him, the company’s Agbara District in Badagry and Ogun State experienced certain customers being affected by the outage.
He assured the locals that once the capacity was expanded, the affected towns’ normalcy will be restored.
He added: “What we are presently getting from the Grid is not enough to meet the demand of our customers. At the same time, this is to notify our esteemed customers in Lagos Island of an impending maintenance work scheduled for Sunday, Jan.22, between 9 am -1 pm.
“This maintenance work will require the Fowler injection substation to be temporarily shut down. So, Ikoyi and the environs under Island District will be out of supply during the period of the outage.
“We are therefore appealing to customers to bear with us. EKEDC highly regrets any inconveniences caused by this irregular supply”
