Oyo, Ogun, others to experience prolonged blackout – IBEDC

By Bukola Hameed

The management of Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) has said that the states under its franchise will experience prolonged power outage.

This, IBEDC says, is due to low weekly power allocation to its network by Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).

A statement issued by IBEDC’s spokesperson, Kikelomo Owoeye, today in Osogbo, said that Ogun, Oyo, Ibadan, Osun and Kwara region would be affected by the power outage.

The statement said that the weekly power allocation to IBEDC network by TCN had dropped from 692.5 megawatt to 368.5 megawatt.

“This has led to massive load shedding across our franchise in Ogun, Oyo, Ibadan, Osun and Kwara region.

“Kindly bear with us, as we work with stakeholders in the electricity value chain on sustainable resolution,” the company said.
