“Our April bill is about N280 million, up from the former bill of about N80 million. Therefore, management is left with no other option but load shedding to reduce cost while negotiation continues with BEDC. Normalcy in power supply will be restored as soon as negotiations are concluded. Management appreciates your usual support, understanding, and regrets any inconveniences the increment may have caused you,” the institution lamented.

But BEDC has left the place in darkness by denying the residents power supply.” When contacted, Head, Branding and Corporate Communications of BEDC, Evelyn Gbiwen, said the power outage in Iguosa and environs was as a result of a failed 7.5MVA power transformer at Iguosa.
