Governor's Road residents protest ongoing power outage


Residents of Governor's Road, Ikotun in Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos State, have protested the continued power outage in the area for over 10 days.

Speaking on behalf of Governor Road Residents, Ikotun, the chairman of Igando Peace Estate Phase IV, CDA, Engr. Emmanuel Joseph noted that the outage has caused untold hardship to households and businesses, disrupted daily activities of the residents of the area

Joseph in the statement said: "We are speaking out regarding the persistent power outage we have experienced for over 10 days without any formal communication or update from Ikeja Electric to the consumers affected.

"This prolonged blackout has caused untold hardship to households and businesses, disrupted daily activities, and subjected existing electrical infrastructure within our community to potential damage due to the irregular supply pattern. Many residents have had to resort to alternative sources of energy at great financial and environmental cost.

"Beyond the inconvenience and economic loss, the absence of communication from your office has created uncertainty, leaving consumers in the dark, we are particularly worried about the integrity and security of existing infrastructure in our area, such as distribution transformers, cables, and other equipment. We would like to know what preventive and security measures your company has in place to ensure that these assets are not compromised, vandalized, or further damaged during this extended period of outage.

"In light of the above, we respectfully request that we are provided a clear explanation as to why our community has been left without power for over 10 days; the expected time-frame for restoration of normal power supply and the communication framework Ikeja Electric intends to adopt, going forward to keep consumers adequately informed during service disruptions."
