Residents of Adeoni Estate, a gated community in the Ojodu Berger area that straddles Lagos and Ogun states, and its environs, have expressed frustration over the persistent poor power supply in the area.
They accused the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company of failing to supply power to the area, which is on the Band A tariff, with the expected 20 hours of electricity per day, while stating that the disco had failed to address the issue despite numerous complaints.
According to residents, the erratic power supply had worsened in recent months, crippling businesses and making daily life unbearable.
Many households and business owners lamented that they sometimes went for days without electricity, forcing them to rely on expensive fuel to power generators.
It was gathered that the situation worsened about a week ago, with the area getting less than one hour of electricity on most days.
Speaking with Sunday Punch, a local business owner, Mrs Tolulope Hassan stated that the erratic power supply had significantly increased her operational costs.“We hardly get power for more than two hours a day, and when it comes, the voltage is sometimes too low to power anything meaningful. We are spending too much on fuel, and it is affecting our business profits,” she lamented. Punch
