The management of the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) has announced that there would be an interruption in power supply to some parts of Ibadan between 9am and 1pm on Saturday. In a statement yesterday, the firm’s Acting Head of Public Affairs, Mr. Niyi Olaitan, said the outage will affect Ago-Taylor, Akinyemi Way, Gbekuba, IAR&T, Iyaganku, Joyce-B, Liberty Road, Odo-Ona, Oluyole and environs. Olaitan said the outage was to allow the company to “energise” the just completed New Express 33kv Feeder from Ayede 330/132/33kv Transmission Station to Interchange Injection Sub-station.

He said the New Express 33kv Feeder will improve the quality of power supply to all the feeders radiating from the Interchange Injection Sub-station. “This would increase the number of hours of power supply to customers on the feeders. This improvement would materially impact customers at Felele, Lead City University, CRIN, Challenge, Odo-Ona Kekere, Orita, Podo, Sanyo and environs.

“IBEDC regrets any inconvenience the outage may cause its valued customers and assures them of continuous commitment to improved power supply.”
