The EKEDC, in a statement issued by its General Manager, Corporate Communications, Babatunde Lasaki, on Sunday, apologised to its customers over prolonged outage experienced in the affected areas.
Lasaki, however, said the outage was caused by faults in some of the company’s power distribution transformers.
