The management of Eko Electricity Distribution Company on Sunday announced that there would be power outage in Ikoyi, Victoria Island and its environs as the company’s injection substations and equipment had been submerged in the flood.
The General Manager, Corporate Communications, EKEDC, Mr Godwin Idemudia, said that the company was having challenges in almost all its injection substations as a result of the flood from heavy rains on Saturday.
According to Idemudia, some of EKEDC transformers in the areas have been submerged.
