IBEDC disconnects power supply to Moniya Train Station over debt

By Adejayan Gbenga –

The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) has announced the disconnection of the Obafemi Awolowo Train Station in Moniya, Ibadan, Oyo State, over unpaid electricity bills.

IBEDC confirmed the development on its social media handles on Wednesday.

Providing updates on its Band A feeders on Tuesday, the Disco, while apologising for its inability to deliver the estimated hours of supply due to a TCN forced outage, noted that the feeders had been restored.

IBEDC, however, disclosed that the Moniya 33kV feeder supplying electricity to the train station was “still out on disconnection for non-payment.”

“We sincerely apologise for our inability to deliver the estimated hours of supply on your feeder. This was due to a TCN forced outage, TCN load shedding, IBEDC forced and planned outages, earth and overcurrent faults, as well as a disconnection due to non-payment,” the statement read.

“Kindly note that the mentioned feeders have been restored, except the Moniya Railway 33kV feeder, which is still out on disconnection for non-payment,” IBEDC added.
