Blackout hits Lagos communities

Published

on

Residents of Ikotun, Igando, Ijegun and Isheri Osun in Lagos have been in blackout for about a month due to breakdown of the Ejigbo Transmission Station.

The blackout has crippled economic activities in the Lagos suburbs where many artisans and petty traders depend on electricity for operations.

The residents, led by their various Community Development Associations executives, have lodged several complaints at outlets of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria in the areas but the blackout persists.

The Chairman of the Community Road CDA in Ijegun, Mr Abimbola Alabi, told NAN on Tuesday that the community was fed up with the situation.
