Some residents of Lekki Phase 1 have decried the prolonged power outage that has crippled activities in parts of the neighbourhood for almost two weeks following a transformer fault.
The residents also condemned what they described as negligence, poor communication and indifference on the part of the Eko Electricity Distribution Company during the blackout.
They expressed their displeasure in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria on Sunday, saying the prolonged outage had imposed significant financial burdens on residents.
According to them, the blackout had resulted in spoiled food items, while residents who depended on private generators had been forced to spend more on fuel.
The residents appealed to the management of EKEDC to urgently restore electricity supply to Alhaji Hakeem Odumosu Street and other affected parts of the Lekki Phase 1 area.
