The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company has attributed the loss of electricity supply across Imo state to the ongoing labor strike organized by the state’s labor union.
This information was conveyed in a statement released on Thursday by Mr. Emeka Ezeh, the Head of Corporate Communications for EEDC, in Enugu.
“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 said.
According to him, “We appreciate the inconveniences this situation must have caused our customers, and we hope that the issue will be resolved soon,” he said.
The spokesperson for EEDC, Mr. Emeka Ezeh, provided reassurance to the residents of Imo, stating that the company is prepared to promptly reinstate electricity supply once the labor strike concludes.
“EEDC is committed to improving on its processes and delivering improved services to its esteemed customers,” he added.
