No fewer than 22 communities in Ibadan, Oyo State, will experience daily power outages of about three hours from Monday, January 5, to Friday, January 9, 2026.
The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) disclosed this in a statement issued on Tuesday, attributing the planned blackout to ongoing road construction along Foodco Road and Idi Isin.
According to the company, the 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.
Other locations expected to be impacted are the AMI Complex, ODUA, Police Headquarters, Apampa, The Heavens, Blossom Heritage, Polo Club and Baale Akintayo.
IBEDC explained that the outage is necessary to enable the relocation of its facilities and assets within the construction corridor, a process that requires some electricity feeders to be temporarily switched off.
“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 statement said.
“As a result, some feeders will be switched off for approximately three hours daily from Monday, January 5, 2026, to Friday, January 9, 2026.”
The company appealed to customers in the affected areas for patience and understanding during the period of the planned outage.
