Simultaneously, the Eko Electricity Distribution Company took similar steps to communicate the gravity of the situation.
However, a beacon of hope emerged when the Eko Disco released an official statement via X (formerly Twitter), confirming the successful restoration of the national electricity grid and the return of power supply. The statement conveyed, “Dear valued customer, kindly be informed that power supply has been restored from the grid. Thank you for your patience.”
This announcement brings a sigh of relief to countless citizens and businesses affected by the power outage. As Nigeria emerges from this challenging episode, the Eko Electricity Distribution Company’s swift response and resolution demonstrate their commitment to ensuring reliable electricity supply for their esteemed customers.
