Ikeja Electric on Tuesday reported reduced electricity supply across Lagos, affecting both residents and businesses, due to a nationwide decline in power generation.
In a statement, the company’s Head of Corporate Communications, Kingsley Okotie, said the drop is linked to insufficient gas supply to thermal power plants, which remain Nigeria’s primary source of electricity, Eko Hot Blog reports.

“The limited gas supply has reduced energy on the national grid, which in turn has affected allocations to Ikeja Electric and other distribution companies,” Okotie explained. He added that this has led to intermittent outages and load shedding across the network.
