Residents of Lekki Phase 1 in Lagos are grappling with a two-week blackout following a transformer failure, causing significant financial strain due to heavy reliance on expensive fuel for power. The outage, which has disrupted both domestic and commercial activities in the high-density area, is reportedly due to a delay in obtaining repair materials. Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) officials have stated that materials for the necessary repairs have been approved and are expected to be available this week. Persistent power disruptions across the EKEDC network remain a major challenge for the Lagos business environment.
