Ikeja Electric Plc has announced a widespread power outage across several parts of Lagos following severe flooding at the Oworonshoki 132/33kV Transmission Station.
In a public notice issued on Tuesday, the electricity distribution company said the flooding affected two power transformers and several 33kV/11kV feeders, resulting in outages across multiple communities.
The affected feeders include Ladilac, Bariga, Alapere, Oworo, Gbagada, Pedro, GTB, Anthony, Agboyi, Ifako, Araba, Hospital and Bakare.
According to the company, the disruption was caused by floodwaters that submerged critical transmission infrastructure at the Oworo Transmission Station.
“Ikeja Electric is working closely with the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) to restore supply as soon as the transmission facilities are back in service,” the notice stated.
The electricity distribution company apologised to customers for the inconvenience and appealed for patience while efforts are underway to restore normal power supply.
The development comes amid heavy flooding in several parts of Lagos, which has disrupted transportation, businesses and other economic activities across the state.
In flooding-related development, the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has alerted Lagos residents and other coastal states to a heightened risk of flash flooding on Tuesday, June 30.
The warning was contained in NiMet’s Tuesday Weather Outlook for June 30, 2026.
The update, which sustained rainfall across the southern region throughout the day, comes following forecasts of widespread rainfall across southern Nigeria.
According to the agency, continuous rainfall could trigger flash flooding in coastal and low-lying communities, particularly in Lagos and other states along Nigeria’s southern coastline.
The forecast also outlined expected weather conditions across the northern and North Central regions while advising residents and key sectors to take precautionary measures.
NiMet forecast thunderstorms accompanied by light rainfall over parts of Ondo, Ogun, Edo, Lagos, Rivers, Delta, Bayelsa, Cross River, and Akwa Ibom states during the morning.
The agency added that rainfall would intensify later in the day, with moderate rainfall expected across the entire southern region during the afternoon and evening.
