IBEDC announces three-hour daily power outage in 22 Ibadan communities

The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) has announced that 22 communities in Ibadan, Oyo State, will experience about three hours of daily power outage due to ongoing road construction.

In a statement posted on its official Facebook page on Tuesday, IBEDC said the outages are necessary as road works along Foodco Road and Idi Isin require the relocation of some of its facilities and assets.

The affected areas include Alalubosa GRA, Ogunkola, Museum, Akinola Maja, FRIN, Forestry College, Lead City, Lead British, House 18, Eleventh House, Commissionaire, Nursing Home, Sunrise, Post Housing, AMI Complex, ODUA, Police Headquarters, Apampa, The Heavens, Blossom Heritage, Polo Club, and Baale Akintayo.

The company explained that some electricity feeders will be switched off for approximately three hours daily from Monday, January 5, to Friday, January 9 to facilitate the relocation work.

The announcement comes amid ongoing operational challenges in Nigeria’s electricity sector. Notably, a national grid collapse on December 29, 2025, led to widespread power outages across the country, significantly reducing electricity generation.
