The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company has released the names of erstwhile Band A feeders downgraded to B, C D or E.

Our correspondent reports that the Farm Feeder serving the Obasanjo Farm was downgraded from Band A to Band E in the list released by the IBEDC on Saturday.

About 28 feeders under the Ibadan DisCo were downgraded in Oyo, Ogun, Kwara and Osun States.

According to the list, some areas dropped from 20 hours of daily power supply to zero hour.

This, according to the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, brought about the removal of those feeders from Band A to the band that fits their daily power allocation.

While announcing the April 2024 supplementary Multi-Year Tariff Order on Wednesday, the Federal Government said it would no longer pay subsidy on electricity consumed by Band A customers, saying others would continue to pay the old rates.

Band A customers, who reportedly enjoy electricity for a minimum of 20 hours per day now pay N225/KWh.

Smh for this country, how can you downgrade some areas to BAND E with zero hour supply of electricity don't these areas have hospitals,schools,hotels and other businesses that will require electricity to function?

What will now be that fate of all these businesses? Can they survive on generators day in day out?

This new policy by the discos is very discriminatory, the Nigeria labour Congress and civil societies should take the matter to court.

In thesame country, some people are enjoying 20hours of electricity per day will some areas are allocated zero hour

They are joking if it's the same obasanjo farms that is in Ota where I live. They have the best power supply in Ogun state if not even in Nigeria. I am sure they have nothing less than 23.5 hours per day.

H

eledi estate and ptogress estate,when i was staying in that area,i used hot plate through out

Idah has been downgraded to Band Z, I swear na zero hour power supply we get for here.

Just a phone call that changed the dynamic. I have said it before. The elite and powerful people in the society don't pay electricity bills. It's the average and poor Nigerians that are paying. The band a is just a scam. Politician will not pay.

After billions of naira successive govt have pumped into generating power, why should some areas have constants light for several hours, others for fees and some at zero


Why is electricity a rocket science in Nigeria, what are our universities doing about some of these issues

Even Iran that was building nuclear weapon didn't spend much of time and resources compared to us trying to generate power, elof which we have the resources In abundance

You are very correct. I stayed there for years. Was there days ago, they enjoy light light anything. Very rare for prolong blackout to happen. I guess it's courtesy of the TCN station towards Ijagba.

Houses have significantly appreciated and the environment changed due to influx of pple as a result of the stable power in that axis.
