National grid collapse, cause of outage — Eko Disco

The Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC), has attributed the current power outage on its network to what it called system collapse of the National Grid.

The General Manager, Corporate Communications of the company, Mr Godwin Idemudia, said on Monday that the outage which occurred about 2.27 p.m. on Sunday affected Ajah, Akangba and Agbara transmission stations.

The general manager, however, assured customers that they would be updated as soon as the company received supply from the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).

“The situation is being monitored and the power restoration will be done as soon as the situation normalises.

“We regret any inconveniences caused by the outage,” he said in a statement.
