According to the company, the disruption was caused by floodwaters that submerged critical transmission infrastructure at the Oworo Transmission Station.
“Ikeja Electric is working closely with the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) to restore supply as soon as the transmission facilities are back in service,” the notice stated.
The electricity distribution company apologised to customers for the inconvenience and appealed for patience while efforts are underway to restore normal power supply.
The development comes amid heavy flooding in several parts of Lagos, which has disrupted transportation, businesses and other economic activities across the state.
