By Stephen Asaba-ase

The Electricity Distribution Company Plc, EEDC, in Enugu, on Monday announced a total system collapse, causing blackout in the entire Southeast.

The company in a statement issued by its Head of Corporate Communications, Emeka Eze, stated that the incident occurred at about 2am on Monday night.

However, EEDC promised residents of the region that efforts are being put in place to ensure that normalcy is restored soon.

According to the statement, “This resulted in the loss of supply to all our interface TCN stations. Consequently, we were unable to provide service to our customers in Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo States.

“However, the situation is gradually being resolved as we received supplies at Awada TCN station, Onitsha, at 7:30am.

“We are in constant communication with the relevant authorities awaiting full restoration of supply by the National Control Centre, NCC, Oshogbo added”
