The Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company (IKEDC) has appealed to consumers in Oko-Oba, Ikotun, Ijegun, Idimu, and Ipaja in Lagos over the irregular power supply in the last three weeks.

Mr Pekun Adeyanju, Assistant General Manager, Public Affairs, IKEDC made the appeal today in Lagos.

Adeyanju said that the outage was due to faulty 60 KVA transformers at Akowonjo transmission station.
