Residents of Forthright Gardens Estate in Magboro, Ogun State, have decried weeks of blackout, noting that repeated engagements with the authorities have yielded no results.

As a Band B estate, residents are entitled to between 12 and 16 hours of daily power supply. However, the estate chairman, Mr. Adenola Quadri, explained that they have instead endured weeks of darkness, interrupted only by occasional, brief flashes of electricity.

He noted that while residents pay high tariffs under the band B category, they have been denied the corresponding service, plunging the community into severe crisis.
