The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) has announced that 22 communities in Ibadan, Oyo State, will experience about three hours of daily power outage due to ongoing road construction works.
In a statement released on Tuesday via its official Facebook page, IBEDC said the outage is a result of road construction along Foodco Road and Idi Isin, which has necessitated the relocation of some of its facilities and assets in the affected areas.
According to the distribution company, the communities to be affected 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.
Others listed are the AMI Complex, ODUA, Police Headquarters, Apampa, The Heavens, Blossom Heritage, Polo Club, and Baale Akintayo.
IBEDC explained that the relocation exercise would require some electricity feeders to be switched off for approximately three hours daily between Monday, January 5, and Friday, January 9.
“Kindly be informed that due to ongoing road construction along Foodco Road and Idi Isin, IBEDC facilities and assets in the area are being relocated. As a result, some feeders will be switched off for approximately three hours daily,” the statement read.
