The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company has announced that 22 communities in Ibadan, Oyo State, will experience daily power outages lasting about three hours due to ongoing road construction.
IBEDC disclosed this in a statement shared on its Facebook page on Tuesday, attributing the planned outage to road construction works along Foodco Road and Idi Isin, which have made it necessary to relocate some of its facilities and assets in the area.
The distribution company listed the affected areas as Alalubosa GRA, Ogunkola, Museum, Akinola Maja, FRIN, Forestry College, Lead City, Lead British, House 18, Eleventh House, Commissionaire, Nursing Home, Sunrise and Post Housing.
Other affected locations include the AMI Complex, ODUA, Police Headquarters, Apampa, The Heavens, Blossom Heritage, Polo Club and Baale Akintayo.
According to IBEDC, the relocation exercise will require some electricity feeders to be switched off for about three hours each day 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,” the company said.
“Some feeders will be switched off for approximately three hours daily from Monday, January 5, to Friday, January 9,” the statement added.
The company appealed to residents in the affected areas for understanding while the relocation works last.
