KEDCO attributes load shedding to drop in power supply 
The Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO), has attributed the current load shedding across its franchise area of Katsina, Jigawa and Kano to drop in power supply.
KEDCO’s Head of Corporate Communications, Sani Bala, said this in a statement on Tuesday in Kano.
“We wish to sincerely apologize to our valued customers for the slight drop in power supply currently being experienced across our franchise area.
“As earlier communicated, the reason behind the power shortage is temporary reduction in our allocation from 300+MW to an average of 167MW due to limitations on the transmission lines.
“Today, the allocation went as low as 150MW, which is grossly inadequate to supply all our customers, hence, we engage in massive load shedding and rationing across our feeders.
“Once again, we sincerely apologize for the ongoing power supply shortage across our franchise areas. We understand the difficulties this has caused to your homes, businesses, and daily routines, and we deeply regret all the inconveniences,” Bala said.
He added: “However, we assure our esteemed customers that:we are strongly pushing with TCN for more allocation towards improved, sustainable power supply.
“We have been informed by Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) that they are working diligently to fix and restore the affected lines.”
