No fewer than 22 communities in Ibadan, Oyo State, will experience about three hours of total power outage daily from Monday, January 5, to Friday, January 9, following ongoing road construction works in parts of the city.
The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) disclosed this in a statement issued on Tuesday, attributing the planned outage to construction activities along Foodco Road and Idi Isin.
According to the distribution company, the affected areas include Alalubosa GRA, Ogunkola, Museum, Akinola Maja, FRIN, Forestry College, Lead City, Lead British, House 18, Eleventh House, Commissionaire, Nursing Home, Sunrise, and Post Housing.
Other locations listed are the AMI Complex, ODUA, Police Headquarters, Apampa, The Heavens, Blossom Heritage, Polo Club, and Baale Akintayo.
IBEDC explained that its electricity facilities and assets in the affected areas are currently being relocated due to the road construction, resulting in the temporary shutdown of some feeders.
The company noted that the affected feeders would be switched off for about three hours daily throughout the period of the exercise.
“Kindly be informed that due to ongoing road construction along Foodco Road, Idi Isin, Ibadan, IBEDC facilities and assets in the area are being relocated,” the statement read.
“Some feeders will be switched off for approximately three hours daily from Monday, 5th January 2026, to Friday, 9th January 2026.”
