Arepo Community Petitions Ikeja Electric Over Outages
The Arepo community, located in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State, has formally petitioned Ikeja Electric (IE) regarding ongoing power outages lasting over four months. The petition, submitted by the Concerned Residents of Arepo (CRA) and signed by Kehinde Adeyemo, Friday Erhabor, and 26 other residents, highlights that the community has only received about two hours of electricity cumulatively per day, despite an upgrade from Band C to B, which promised 16 to 18 hours of supply daily.
The residents expressed frustration over IE's inconsistent power restoration efforts and the lack of metering, resulting in arbitrary estimated billing. They are demanding immediate improvements in power supply, the provision of meters, and upgrades to supply feeders and equipment.
The community has threatened legal action due to damages suffered from the outages, which have severely impacted their quality of life and local businesses.
