Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it has it why is there no light in lagos?..….
Residents of Lagos will have to contend with erratic power supply as ongoing maintenance in the Egbin Power Station is causing massive load shedding.
For customers of Eko Electric Distribution Company (EKEDC) and Ikeja Electric Distribution Company (IKEDC), this development was noticed on Monday.
Confirming the development on Tuesday, EKEDC on its X, formerly known as Twitter, said, “The reduction in power supply is due to the ongoing maintenance of Nigeria Gas Company’s (NGC) gas pipeline supplying the Egbin Power Station.”
The development has led to a slowdown in activities and comes at a crucial festive season when businesses need power for their operations.
With the high cost of petrol and diesel already putting weight on economic activities, the inconvenience will further heighten the pressure on commercial activities in the state.
In a recent update from Ikeja Electric on December 20th, The main reason for the power outage is because of the ongoing maintenance work on the Nigerian Gas Company (NGC) gas pipeline supplying gas to Egbin Power Generation Company.
This has led to the temporary shutdown of the plant, resulting in extensive load shedding nationwide.
The Ikeja Electric company said the light will be restored “upon the completion of the maintenance work”.
