Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) has cut power to the University of Lagos (UNILAG) due to alleged unpaid electricity bills
The university management announced the disconnection in a statement on Wednesday.
UNILAG has been struggling with increasing electricity costs, which worsened when EKEDC upgraded the university’s tariff from “Band B” to “Band A.”
This tariff change caused the monthly electricity bill to surge from between N150 million and N180 million to nearly N300 million, marking a 100% increase.
The management explained that despite ongoing negotiations with EKEDC and a recent payment of N180 million on August 20, the university was abruptly disconnected from the power supply on August 27 without prior notice.
The management assured the university community that efforts were on to resolve the issue with EKEDC.
It called for calm and announced that power supply across the campus would be rationed until further notice.
