BEDC Electricity Plc has initiated immediate repairs on faulty electricity infrastructure in Aviele community, Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo state, following resident complaints about prolonged power outages.

The company's efforts to restore electricity supply were part of a field assessment of electricity challenges in the Auchi region, where a faulty transformer and Ring Main Unit (RMU) were directed to be repaired.

Recent developments include the reconnection of Warrake, Ihievbe and Ivbiaro communities to the national grid, marking progress after years of unreliable or absent electricity supply.

Lawani emphasized the importance of direct engagement with consumers to identify infrastructure gaps and improve service delivery across Edo, Delta, Ondo and Ekiti States.
