Although electricity supply seems to have improved in many locations across the Lagos metropolis, island neighbourhoods claim to have better supply from their own distribution company, Eko Disco.

In a vox pop conducted around Ajah, VGC, Banana Island, Chevron, Osborne Estate 1, Primewater View, Main One, and Royal Garden Estate, respondents reported an average of 20 hours of uninterrupted electricity supply in their homes and places of business.

According to James Babarinde, a lawyer whose office is near Banana Island, “It’s a reprieve, I tell you. Not having to fuel the generator for weeks is fantastic. You can’t even begin to imagine how this makes us feel.”

An official of Eko Disco who spoke to us on condition of anonymity because they didn’t have the authority to speak on the matter said, “We have been re-investing in our business to make sure that consumer actually feel a considerable improvement in their power supply.”

The employee added: “Right now, we’re actually subsidising the cost of maintaining a 20-hour supply. But eventually, we’re aiming for an all-day, all-week supply.

As a business we understand that when power supply gets better, more businesses will thrive and employ more people and we can create a cycle of prosperity in Nigeria.”

This cycle is exactly what the country is hoping for, said Kunle Aderibigbe, a resident of VGC. “Think about how many lives will be changed when you don’t have to spend all your profit on fuelling your generator,” he said.

Another resident, Chioma Nwogwugwu, said she hoped Eko Disco would keep the power supply constant, even in its present form. “Look, my brother, I don’t even mind the 20 hours. That’s a lot better than where we’re coming from.”
