The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company said that the state’s organised labour unions’ industrial action is to blame for the disruption of the energy supply throughout the whole state of Imo.
This is stated in a statement made on Thursday in Enugu by Mr. Emeka Ezeh, Head of Corporate Communications at the EEDC.
According to him:
“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 unions in Imo State.
“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.
“We appreciate the inconveniences this situation must have caused our customers, and we hope that the issue will be resolved soon.”
The EEDC representative, on the other hand, informed the people of Imo that the business is ready to resume supplies soon the strike is over.
“EEDC is committed to improving on its processes and delivering improved services to its esteemed customers,” he added.
