The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) has attributed the loss of power supply to customers in Imo state to the industrial action by the organised labour union in the state.
The electricity distribution company said in a statement signed by its Head, Corporate Communications, Mr Emeka Ezeh, on Friday that the strike led to the shutting down of its power source, “leaving us with no energy to distribute.”
Ezeh explains further: “As a result, all our customers under in Imo State are without electricity supply. We understand the inconveniences this situation will cause our customers, and we are hopeful that the issue will be resolved within the shortest possible time so we can restore supply to our customers.
EEDC, also seized the opportunity to appeal to electricity customers to be “vigilant and ensure the electricity infrastructure serving them are not attacked by vandals who might want to take advantage of the situation to attack and vandalise electricity facilities.”
“We remain committed and working assiduously to deliver improved services”,he adds.
