Why customers are experiencing reduced power supply – IKEDC

Ikeja Electric Distribution Company (IKEDC) has explained that the reduction in electricity supply hours across its network is due to a shortfall in power allocated to it from the national grid.

IKEDC said the quantity of electricity currently allocated to its network was insufficient to sustain the usual hours of supply to customers.
