IMPORTANT UPDATE ON OFF-CAMPUS POWER SUPPLY

Modern Unilorites,

In the bid to enquire and improve the welfarism of students residing off-campus especially with regards to power supply, the Union paid a visit to the Ilorin regional branch of IBEDC.

In our discussion, it was made known by the Technical Manager that the Tanke feeder was overloaded and as such can't accommodate the expected populace. This has led to the deload of the feeder in order to ensure the even distribution of power across all Tanke Axis.

However, in the bid to improve the power supply specifically the student-populated areas, there is the need to energize the substation injectors, an exercise which is scheduled to be concluded by the second quarter of the year (June/July). It is in this regard that we enjoin students to be patient with the power distribution company while they improve the situation of power supply in the Tanke axis.

In a similar development, there is a positive update on the situation of power supply at College of Health Sciences, Oke-Oyi. It was recently gathered that the era of a power source being jointly shared by Kwara State Polytechnic and College of Health Sciences would be a thing of the past as a new source is about to be connected to Kwara State Polytechnic.

This development indicates that after the implementation of the new source, the College of Health Sciences and its environs(UITH inclusive) would begin to enjoy premium power supply of over 20 hours. Students should however note that this development is set to be concluded in the next two to three weeks.

The Development-Oriented Administration remains committed to the prioritization of your welfarism. Thank you.
