IBADAN, Nigeria (NPA) — The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) has issued a public apology to customers across its network for failing to deliver the estimated hours of electricity supply on several Band A feeders as of May 9, 2026.

In a statement released by management, the company attributed the shortfall to a combination of Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) forced and planned outages, load shedding, overcurrent and earth faults, and disconnections for non‑payment. IBEDC assured customers that most affected feeders have now been restored, except the Water Works (Ojere) and Moniya Railway 33kV feeders, which remain disconnected.

“We sincerely apologise for our inability to deliver the estimated hours of supply on your feeder,” the statement read. “We remain committed to delivering the estimated hours of supply.”

The notice listed several major feeders and districts affected, including Ife 1 and 2, Akure 1, Oshogbo 1, Moniya, Bodija, Challenge, and Ogbomosho, among others. Areas such as Parakin, Mayfair, Ijapo Estate, Alagbaka GRA, Oja Oba, Bodija Market, and Ring Road experienced interruptions ranging from forced outages to earth faults and load shedding.

IBEDC explained that the disruptions were largely due to technical issues within the transmission network and maintenance operations aimed at stabilising supply. The company emphasised that restoration efforts were ongoing and that customers in the affected areas would soon enjoy improved service reliability.

The management reiterated its commitment to transparency and customer satisfaction, urging consumers to report faults promptly and settle outstanding bills to avoid disconnection.
