Ojuronpe said the development is coming on the heels of the recent drop in power generation by 963 megawatts (Mws) from 3,463Mw to 2, 500Mw. She said the firm receives 300 megawatts, instead of 1,000 megawatts, adding that the development is affecting power distribution in the area.
She said: ‘’Due to reduction in the electricity megawatts allocated to Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company, we have no choice than to embark on rationing of light. An average person cannot get light for more than six hours a day. If it comes to load shedding, we have to do it to.’’
She said the statement by the Minister of Power, Prof Chinedu Nebo that electricity generation has dropped drastically is good, capable of letting the public knows the on-goings in the power sector.
She attributed bureaucratic bottlenecks affected distribution of supply during the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) era, stressing that the problem is not new.
