The management of Ikeja Electric yesterday allayed fears over an impending power blackout, stating that the planned disruption in power supply to certain areas under its network should not be misunderstood for total blackout as widely speculated.

In a statement by the Head, Corporate Communications, IE, Felix Ofulue, the interrupted power supply is due to planned outage resulting from the maintenance work being carried out by the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, on its transformers at the Ikeja West Transmission Station.

The areas to be affected by the exercise, which commenced on Monday March 6 and end on Tuesday, April 4, 2017, include Ojodu, Magodo, Alausa, Oke-Afa, Bolorunpelu, Egbe, Igando, Shasha, Ipaja, Alimosho, Agege, Egbeda and Abesan.

Others are Ayetoro, Abule-Taylor, Ogba, Ifako, Shomolu, Gbagada, Oworonshoki, Ogudu, Isheri-Olowora, Berger, Anthony, Otta and environs.

The company therefore, appealed to residents of the affected areas to bear with the company while emphasizing on the importance of the maintenance as a necessity for improved power supply and better service delivery.

He further explained that a load-shedding programme to ensure equitable distribution of power supply to the affected areas have been put in place by the company.
