The Ikeja Electric Plc has asked customers in Lagos to remain patient amid ongoing power outages, attributing the situation to reduced electricity allocation from the national grid.
In a statement posted on its X handle on Friday, the company apologised for the disruption, noting that some parts of its network were experiencing supply constraints.
“We sincerely regret the ongoing power supply challenges currently affecting some areas within our network due to reduced power allocation from the grid,” the company said.
It added that, to manage the shortfall and maintain grid stability, it had introduced temporary load shedding across affected feeders.
“As part of efforts to maintain grid stability and ensure equitable distribution of available power, temporary load shedding is being implemented across affected feeders and locations,” it stated.
The company said it was working with relevant stakeholders to improve supply and minimise the impact on customers.
The latest notice follows months of unstable electricity supply in Lagos and other parts of Nigeria, driven largely by a drop in generation linked to gas shortages.
