Eko DisCo: Why there’s power outage in Lagos, Ogun

The Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) has revealed the reasons behind the power outage in some parts of Lagos and Ogun states.

The EKEDC, in a statement issued by its General Manager, Corporate Communications, Babatunde Lasaki, on Sunday, apologised to its customers over prolonged outage experienced in the affected areas.

Lasaki, however, said the outage was caused by faults in some of the company’s power distribution transformers.
