Residents of no fewer than 22 communities in Ibadan, Oyo State, will experience three hours of total power outage daily from Monday, January 5, to Friday, January 9, 2026, the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) has announced.
The distribution company said the temporary blackout was necessitated by ongoing road construction works along Foodco Road and Idi Isin axis of the state capital.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, IBEDC explained that the construction activities had affected its electricity infrastructure in the area, making it necessary to relocate some of its facilities and assets.
“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,” the statement read.
According to the electricity distribution company, the areas that will be affected by the planned outage 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.
Naijaonpoint reports that others are AMI Complex, ODUA, Police Headquarters, Apampa, The Heavens, Blossom Heritage, Polo Club and Baale Akintayo.
IBEDC stated that the relocation of its facilities had led to some electricity feeders being switched off for a few hours daily during the construction period.
“Some feeders will be switched off for approximately three hours daily from Monday, 5th January 2026, to Friday, 9th January 2026,” the company added.
The distribution company appealed to customers in the affected areas for patience and understanding, assuring them that the measure was temporary and necessary to ensure the safety of its assets and personnel during the road construction.
IBEDC said normal power supply would be restored immediately after the relocation exercise is completed.
