EXCLUSIVE: Blackout in OAU as authorities, IBEDC bicker over bills
Since January 5, the entire university campus, including the academic areas, staff quarters and hostels have been thrown into darkness as a result of the disconnection.
Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC), the private power distribution firm in charge of power supply to the institution, has disconnected the university from its supply.
Since January 5, the entire university campus, including the academic areas, staff quarters and hostels have been thrown into darkness as a result of the disconnection.
While parts of the academic area are supplied irregular light from the university’s central generator, residents of the staff quarters and officials in charge of the hostels have been without light in the last four days.
Local manufacturers have decried the plan to increase electricity tariff, despite the lingering challenge facing the real sector and poor quality of power supply, saying they spent an average of N70 billion on self-sourced energy last year.
