The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company has said a total of 22 communities in Ibadan, Oyo State, will experience about three hours of daily power outage due to ongoing road construction.
In a statement issued on its Facebook Page on Tuesday, IBEDC attributed the outage to road construction works along Foodco Road and Idi Isin, which necessitated the relocation of some of its facilities and assets in the area.
The distribution company said the affected areas include “Alalubosa GRA, Ogunkola, Museum, Akinola Maja, FRIN, Forestry College, Lead City, Lead British, House 18, Eleventh House, Commissionaire, Nursing Home, Sunrise and Post Housing.”
Also affected are the AMI Complex, ODUA, Police Headquarters, Apampa, The Heavens, Blossom Heritage, Polo Club and Baale Akintayo
According to IBEDC, the relocation exercise has led to some electricity feeders being switched off for approximately three hours daily within the period.
“Kindly be informed that due to ongoing road construction along Foodco Road, Idi Isin, Ibadan, IBEDC facilities and assets in the area are being relocated.
“Some feeders will be switched off for approximately three hours daily from Monday, January 5, to Friday, January 9,” the statement read in part.
