Ikeja Electric apologises for prolonged power outage

Ikeja Electric has appologised to residents in its area of operation that have been experiencing regular power outage for some time now.

A press statement issued on Wednesday by the company said it “wishes to sincerely apologise for the prolonged outage you have been experiencing, following the rehabilitation of the Maryland injection substation, which supplies power to the area.”

“The rehabilitation exercise, which was done in order to improve power supply, took place between November 3rd and 8th and supply was gradually restored to some of the affected areas within 48 hours,” Ikeja Electric noted.

“However, out of the 9 Feeders attached to the station, only 6 have been restored so far while Sylvia, Ikosi and Demurin are still pending due to unforeseen technical difficulties,” the company said.

It “therefore wishes to assure our customers living in the listed areas that our technical teams are working assiduously to restore supply within the next twenty four hours,” adding: “We thank you for your understanding during this period and remain committed to delivering quality service to you.”
