IBEDC's Ijose Promises Enhanced Power Supply for Ogun

Mr Deolu Ijose, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC), assured key customers in Ogun State of enhanced electricity supply and increased investment in infrastructure during an engagement held in Sagamu and Ota. The meeting, which took place on a Tuesday, addressed persistent complaints regarding inadequate power supply, frequent interruptions, metering issues, and delays in fault clearance.

Ijose emphasized that the new investors and management were dedicated to tackling these operational challenges. He noted that the company had suffered from limited investment under the management of the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria, affecting infrastructure development.

Changes to the company's board occurred on February 11, with new management starting in April. Ijose revealed that IBEDC signed an agreement to procure an additional 125 megawatts of electricity from a generation company to support key business and industrial areas within its franchise.
