EEDC blames blackout in Imo on labour unionists shutting down transmission station
The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) says the loss of electricity supply in Imo is a result of the industrial action by the organised labour union.
The firm disclosed this in a statement by its spokesman, Emeka Ezeh, on Thursday.
“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 union in Imo state,” said the statement.
The Enugu DisCo added, “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.”
The firm, however, expressed its appreciation for “the inconveniences this situation must have caused our customers, and we hope that the issue will be resolved soon.”
It assured the good people of Imo that the company is on standby to restore supply once the industrial action is called off.
“EEDC is committed to improving its processes and delivering improved services to its esteemed customers,” the electricity company added.
