Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) has attributed the loss of electricity supply across Imo State to an ongoing industrial action by organized labour unions.
EEDC’s Head of Corporate Communications, Mr. Emeka Ezeh, released a statement in which he explained the situation.
“EEDC wishes to inform its esteemed customers in Imo State that the loss of supply currently being experienced follows the industrial action by organised labour unions in Imo State.
“This led to the union shutting down our source of supply at Egbu Transmission Station, leaving us with no energy to distribute to our customers.
“As a result of this development, the whole of Imo State is without electricity supply,” he stated.
According to Ezeh, “We appreciate the inconveniences this situation must have caused our customers, and we hope that the issue will be resolved soon,” he added.
Ezeh assured the people of Imo State that the power supply would be restored once the industrial action is resolved.
