The electricity distribution company disclosed this in a public notice dated October 19, 2026, and signed by its management.
“We wish to inform customers across Ikeja Electric network that the reduced hours of electricity supply is due to a shortfall in the amount of power currently allocated to our network from the national grid,” the notice read.

“We understand the inconvenience this may cause and sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding,” it stated.
