Ikeja electric announces 8-week blackout in Lagos
Ikeja Electric Plc on Monday announced an eight-week power outage in some areas in Lagos State.
This is to enable the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) re-conduct its 132KV lines to boost electricity for Nigerians.
Olajide Kumapayi, chief technical officer of the electricity distribution company (DisCo), said the project will begin on October 11.
The areas to be affected include Oregun, Police Training College, Oba Akran, Oke Ira, Ogba, Magodo, Anifowoshe and Omole Phase One.
He noted that the outage became necessary because some of the 132Kv lines installed over 50 years ago had become obsolete and degraded due to time and usage.
The chief technical officer disclosed that the TCN will also move to Alimosho and Agege axis in the next stage.
