The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company PLC (EEDC) informs her esteemed customers that the loss of supply currently experienced in some parts of the South East is as a result of the ongoing nationwide strike by the organised labour.
Earlier today, the use taskforce team of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) visited the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) stations, forced workers out, including the interface Distribution Substation Officers (DSO) and then shutdown the stations.
These actions resulted in loss of supply from the New Haven, Abakaliki, Ugwuaji, Oji River, Agu Awka, Nibo, Ohiya, and Awada TCN stations.
Consequently, the entire Enugu, Ebonyi, and Anambra State and Umuahia District in Abia State are without electricity supply.
Currently, Nru TCN Station, Nsukka, fed from Otukpo axis is the only station still with electricity supply in our entire network.
EEDC customers in Imo State have been without electricity supply since 1st November, 2023, following a faceoff between the Labour Union and the Imo State government which led to the shutdown of Egbu TCN Station, our source of supply.
EEDC expressed its awareness of the inconveniences this development has caused their customers and pleaded for their understanding, as the situation is beyond their control.
EEDC hopes that the issue would be resolved soon so that they can restore supply to their customers.
