Power outage: Alaafin shuns IBEDC officials

For plunging the people of Oyo town into darkness, the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III, has shunned a courtesy by officials of the Association of Nigerian Electricity Distributors.

The Association which comprised of officials from Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company [IBEDC] and led by a high chief was in the ancient town for awareness and sensitization of consumers.

It was learnt that the royal father decided to shun the visitors to show his displeasure and convey his people’s dissatisfaction with the services of the electricity company. The unavailability of power supply has plunged the people of the ancient town into untold hardships, as artisans can no longer work, while businesses are collapsing and life has become unbearable.
