Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) and Ikeja Electric (IE) Plc have provided reason for the constant power outage being experienced by its customers in Lagos and its environs.

The 2 power distribution companies (DisCos) have attributed the recent blackouts under their networks to drop in power generation in the country.

This disclosure is contained in the statement issued by the DisCos on their social media pages on Saturday, regarding the state of power to their customers.

EKEDC said the reduction in supply was due to the drop in power generation from an average of 3,700MW to 2,000MW per hour.

It listed the affected areas to include Iju, Abule Odu, Egbeda, Oregun, Anifowoshe, Ago, Okota, Oke Afa, Ajao, Amuwo, Ikosi, Mende, Ogudu, Bariga, Oworo, Gbagada and Ilupeju.
