Eko Disco Announces 25-Day Blackout In Lagos by Islie(op): 6:33pm On Jul 25, 2025

Eko Electricity Distribution Company has announced a 25-day blackout in parts of Lagos State.

Eko DisCo disclosed this in a notice to customers on Friday posted on its X account.

According to EKEDC, the blackout would commence on 28th July and last until August 21st, 2025, between 8am and 5pm daily.

The Disco explained that the outage is to enable the Transmission Company of Nigeria carry out work on the Omotosho-Ikeja West 330 kV line.

“EKEDC has announced a daily planned power outage from Monday, 28 July, to Thursday, 21 August 2025, due to essential maintenance work by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) on the Omotosho-Ikeja West 330 kV line.

“The outage will occur between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. each day, affecting several parts of Lagos and other serviced areas. During this period, residents should expect intermittent electricity supply and load shedding across the Eko Disco network,” the Disco stated.

Total blackout is different from intermittent electricity supply and load shedding. Is this news meant to create sensation or to put people into panic?

I swear to you, and I’m ready to bet my balls on it, Eko Disco is the most useless Disco of all the Discos.

In 2021 when I relocated from Enugu to Lagos, I used to have minimum of 18hrs of electricity everyday, only to get to Lagos and noticed I could sometimes stay 3 days without electricity.

I swear, I was traumatized. I fell sick; literally.

Meanwhile, EEDC is the best of all the Discos. Emeka Ofor did a good job with that shit.

Solar to the rescue. And we aren't guaranteed that power will be stable from 6:00p.m to 8:00a.m the following

Re: Eko Disco Announces 25-Day Blackout In Lagos by emmancipated(m): 8:44pm On Jul 25, 2025

This is ridiculous. The worst of it is that it's going to be a minimum of 25 days as they said, but very likely to be longer.
