The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company Plc has stated that the current power outage in some parts of the South-East is the result of a strike by an organised labour union in Imo State.
According to the organisation, the strike caused its supply source to shut down, leaving it without any energy to distribute.
These were stated in a statement released on Saturday and signed by Emeka Ezeh, Head of Corporate Communications at EEDC.
Additionally, it stated that the affected communities should take precautions to prevent vandals from attacking and vandalising the electricity infrastructures that serve them.
The statement read, “The EEDC wishes to inform her esteemed customers that the loss of supply currently being experienced is a result of the industrial action by the organised labour union in Imo State.
“This led to the shutting down of our source of supply, leaving us with no energy to distribute.
“As a result, all our customers in Imo State are without electricity supply.
“We understand the inconveniences this situation will cause our customers, and we are hopeful that the issue will be resolved within the shortest possible time so we can restore supply to our customers.
“We, therefore, appeal to our customers to be vigilant and ensure the electricity infrastructures serving them are not attacked by vandals who might want to take advantage of the situation to attack and vandalise electricity facilities.”
