Jos disco blames power cuts on reduced grid allocation
The Jos Electricity Distribution Company has explained the recent decline in electricity supply in Plateau, Bauchi, Benue, and Gombe states. According to spokesperson Saratu Dauda, the drop is due to reduced allocation from the national grid, which is beyond the company’s control. Dauda assured customers that efforts are being made to improve the situation and urged them to remain patient. The issue reflects ongoing instability in Nigeria’s power sector, with distribution companies often affected by national grid fluctuations.
