Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) has announced supply disruption due to the strike action by electricity workers, saying that supply to its customers in Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo States have been affected.
INVESTOGIST reported earlier that Labour Unions have shut down major TCN stations across Lagos cutting power supply to the most areas around Ikeja, Lekki, Lagos Island and Mainland.
EEDC in its announcement signed by Emeka Ezeh, Head Corporate Communications, EEDC, said the strike has “disrupted” operations across its franchise area, adding that its feeders are out of power supply as result.
EEDC said, “Following the industrial strike action embarked upon by the National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) at the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) power stations, operations across the franchise area of the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company PLC (EEDC) have been disrupted.
“As a result of this development all our feeders are out of supply and this has affected supply to our esteemed customers in Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo States.
“Consultations are ongoing among critical stakeholders in the power sector to address this issue and possibly restore supply.
“The Management of EEDC hereby encourage customers and neighbourhood associations to be vigilant and protect the electrical installations within their environment against elements who might take advantage of this outage to vandalise these installations.
“We therefore appeal for continued patience and understanding while this is resolved.
