The management of Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company says there will be a scheduled power outage in some parts of Ibadan.
IBEDC, on Tuesday, announced in a statement that the outage was caused by ongoing road construction along Foodco Road and Idi Isin.
The distribution company stated that its facilities and assets are currently being relocated from the area, which has resulted in some electricity feeders getting switched off for about three hours daily.
IBEDC said the planned outage would last from Monday to Friday.
“Kindly be informed that due to ongoing road construction along Foodco Road, Idi Isin, Ibadan, IBEDC facilities and assets in the area are being relocated,” the company stated. “Some feeders will be switched off for approximately 3 hours daily from Monday, 5th January 2026, to Friday, 9th January 2026.”
According to IBEDC, affected areas include Alalubosa GRA, Ogunkola, Museum, Akinola Maja, FRIN, Forestry College, Lead City, Lead British, House 18, Eleventh House, Commissionaire, Nursing Home, Sunrise, and Post Housing.
