FG Says Power Is Back in Parts of Lagos and 4 Other Areas; Residents Ask, “Which Lagos?”
The Federal Government says electricity has been restored to parts of Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Kwara and the FCT after repairs to the Benin–Egbin 330kV transmission line. Some residents, however, say they are still waiting for power to return to their areas. Minister of Power Joseph Tegbe said the repaired line was transmitting electricity and had helped raise supply to the Lagos Complex to more than 1,000 megawatts. The disruption was linked to maintenance at Egbin Power Plant and vandalism of the transmission line, which together caused a loss of nearly 800 megawatts. Online reactions were mixed. Some people questioned which parts of Lagos had received power, while residents in Abeokuta and elsewhere reported only brief or no improvement. The government says work is continuing to restore supply to areas still affected.
