The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) on Thursday said power supply has been restored within the South-East.
The Head, Corporate Communications of EEDC, Mr Emeka Ezeh, stated this in a statement issued in Enugu.
Mr. Ezeh said: “In view of the decision reached yesterday evening (Aug. 17), at a meeting between the striking electricity employees and the Ministers of Labour and Power, the strike by electricity workers has been suspended.
“Restoration of power supply commenced since 00.34a.m. (on Aug. 18) in parts of the South-East states of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo.
“Though this has been gradual, it is hoped that before noon today (Aug. 18) all EEDC outgoing feeders would have fully been restored,” he said.
The spokesman, however, apologised to the company’s esteemed customers for the inconveniences the disruption of power supply must have caused them.
He appreciated them for their patience and understanding.
