Festac Town in the Dark: Residents Demand Reliable Power

How can one of Lagos’ busiest and most populated communities still go without consistent electricity? Residents are paying their bills but still depend on costly generators and inverters to keep lights on. Small shops are closing early, students struggle to study at night, and families spend hours in darkness. While the recent disruptions are linked to rehabilitation work at the Amuwo 132/33kV substation, we need regular updates and measurable improvements as the project moves forward. We call on EKEDC, TCN, and all relevant authorities to communicate clearly and deliver lasting power solutions. Electricity is not a luxury – it is a necessity for every Festac household and business.

Plenty communities face similar struggles; blaming the utility alone ignores local factors like maintenance delays and billing errors.

If residents form a cooperative, they could negotiate bulk inverter purchases and capitalize on shared maintenance to cut generator costs.
