Lagos LG Chairman Abdullahi Olowa Enters Final Phase of 33kV Power Project to Restore Electricity to 10 Ibeju-Lekki Communities
The rehabilitation of the 33kV overhead power line serving communities from Ibeju to Okegun Madagbayun has officially entered its final phase, marking a major step toward restoring stable electricity to 10 affected communities in Ibeju-Lekki.
The project is being executed by the Ibeju-Lekki Local Government under the leadership of Chairman Abdullahi Sesan Olowa, in collaboration with the Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKDC).
Lagos Reporters gathered that contractors are currently working across Okegun Madagbayun, Okegun School, and Okegun Odofin, completing the final installations and technical alignments required to ensure safe and reliable electricity distribution. The rehabilitation spans approximately five kilometres along the Ibeju–Okegun corridor.
Chairman Olowa had earlier assured residents that the power restoration initiative would be fast-tracked and closely monitored to prevent delays. The council maintains that the intervention forms part of its broader commitment to delivering practical infrastructure projects that directly improve living conditions.
According to local officials, the concluding phase includes reinforcement of critical sections of the overhead line, system integrity checks, and coordinated integration with EKDC’s distribution network to guarantee stable supply upon energisation.
Upon completion, electricity will be fully restored to the 10 communities and surrounding areas, bringing relief to households, supporting small and medium-scale businesses, and strengthening economic and social activities across the axis.
The collaboration between the Ibeju-Lekki Local Government and EKDC underscores a coordinated effort to address longstanding power challenges and enhance quality of life for residents.
