Many Nigerians are experiencing electricity service disruptions caused by the heavy rainfall of the last few days. Heavy rainfall and high winds common at this time of year can damage electricity lines and other installations. When that happens electricity services can fail or they can be switched off for safety reasons or to prevent permanent damage. Such service disruptions are not peculiar to Nigeria.
The Ministry of Power, Works and Housing and the Distribution Companies are working hard to restore services to affected customers and to minimize these seasonal disruptions across the country. An important part of these efforts are numerous ongoing projects to build new more resilient distribution lines and to reinforce existing ones.
Customers are therefore advised to report any service disruptions, or any observed damage to a distribution line, to the responsible Disco through the following customer care numbers and e-mail addresses:
