Some communities in Lagos are set to experience erratic power supply and total outage starting from Wednesday, July 20, 2022.

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) gave the warning in a statement released over the weekend while hinting at a drop in electricity consumption by 50 megawatts.

TCN explained that the impending drop would be because of maintenance, and it would affect some Lagos cities, including Lekki phase 1, Oniru, Elegushi, Waterfront, Igbo Efon, and Twenty-first Century Estate.
