Eko Electricity Distribution Plc (EKEDP) has identified vandalism and ongoing transmission upgrades as the primary drivers behind persistent power supply failures in Festac Town, Amuwo Odofin, and surrounding communities in Lagos.
The company stated that these factors have severely constrained its ability to maintain consistent service to the region, which is a critical part of Nigeria's commercial capital.
The disclosure comes as EKEDP accelerates efforts to restore connectivity following weeks of severe outages.
The utility lost connection to the national grid, triggering widespread disruptions across its distribution area.
Management indicated that the combination of deliberate infrastructure damage and necessary grid maintenance work has created a compounding effect on supply reliability.
For investors, the situation underscores the operational vulnerabilities facing Nigerian power distributors.
