The Ikeja Electric Distribution Company has apologized to electricity consumers in Lagos for recent power disruptions, specifically targeting Band A customers who are guaranteed a minimum of 20 hours of electricity per day. In an X post, the company expressed regret for failing to meet the required service level for Band A feeders on November 4th and 5th, 2026.
However, the company's apology sparked outrage among electricity users, who took to X to voice their dissatisfaction. Users like CFC Adeshinor and Damilola Adenusi accused the company of ignoring non-Band A customers and providing services only to Band A users. The Nigerian Independent System Operator, NISO, blamed gas supply shortages for the nationwide reduction in electricity generation and supply.
The Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, also apologized for the issue and expressed regret to electricity consumers across Nigeria.
