Oba Ladoja Urges Improved Power Supply in Nigeria

Oba Rashidi Ladoja, the Olubadan of Ibadanland, addressed the new management board of the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC), led by Chairman Chief Tund Afolabi, during their courtesy visit to the Olubadan Palace in Ibadan. He underscored the critical need for reliable power supply in Nigeria, stating that the current situation is exacerbated by insufficient power generation and frequent grid collapses, which lead to erratic electricity supply for both domestic and commercial users.

Oba Ladoja challenged the IBEDC board to overcome the significant challenges they face, including high operational costs and resource management, which adversely affect business operations. Chief Afolabi assured that IBEDC, as the largest electricity distribution company, is committed to improving electricity supply to consumers.
