Eko Disco Explains Outage In Mushin Community
The management of Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) has attributed the outage in Mushin Community in Lagos and its environs to a fault in its Idi-Araba 11kv transformer feeders.
The General Manager, Corporate Communications, EKEDC, Mr Godwin Idemudia said in Lagos last Thursday `that the outage had affected 75 per cent of the company’s consumers supplied from the feeders.
Idemudia said the fault had been located and the company’s technical team was already working hard to find a solution to it.
The general manager assured the residents that electricity supply would be restored to the affected communities after the repair.
According to him, the affected areas in Mushin are Itire Road, Agoro, Ademosun, Ewenla, Daniel, Afolarin, Church, Bamgboye and Oluyide streets.
“Others are Isolo, Tadeyo and Lapite streets as well as Onilegogoro, Sholanke, Iyalla and General Hospital roads.
“We are, therefore, appealing to customers to bear with us, as supply will be restored as soon as these repairs are concluded.
“EKEDC highly regrets any inconveniences caused by this outage,” Idemuda said in a statement.

Kenyan Runners Dominate Berlin Marathons
Kenya made it a clean sweep at the Berlin Marathon with Sabastian Sawe winning the men’s race and Rosemary Wanjiru triumphing in the women’s.
Sawe finished in two hours, two minutes and 16 seconds to make it three wins in his first three marathons.
The 30-year-old, who was victorious at this year’s London Marathon, set a sizzling pace as he left the field behind and ran much of the race surrounded only by his pacesetters.
Japan’s Akasaki Akira came second after a powerful latter half of the race, finishing almost four minutes behind Sawe, while Ethiopia’s Chimdessa Debele followed in third.
“I did my best and I am happy for this performance,” said Sawe.
“I am so happy for this year. I felt well but you cannot change the weather. Next year will be better.”
Sawe had Kelvin Kiptum’s 2023 world record of 2:00:35 in his sights when he reached halfway in 1:00:12, but faded towards the end.
In the women’s race, Wanjiru sped away from the lead pack after 25 kilometers before finishing in 2:21:05.
Ethiopia’s Dera Dida followed three seconds behind Wanjiru, with Azmera Gebru, also of Ethiopia, coming third in 2:21:29.
Wanjiru’s time was 12 minutes slower than compatriot Ruth Chepng’etich’s world record of 2:09:56, which she set in Chicago in 2024.
