Ossiomo Power Outage: Non Supply Of Gas Grounded Govt Facilities, Private Companies In Edo

By Elvis Omoregie

 

 

Activities in government offices, health facilities and other areas have been grounded for days now in Benin City, Edo State as a result of no availability of power.

 

 

 

 

 

Investigations showed that the power outage was as a result of the non-supply of gas to the Ossiomo Power Company which has been supplying electricity to government buildings, street lights, some private homes, courts, the Edo State Industrial Hub where several micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) operate including the Edo State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) where journalists send their reports to their respective offices.

Some of the operators in the Industrial Hub lamented their plight to journalists as they said they have lost fortune because of no power which entered its fourth day on Friday.

 

 

 

 

 

It was gathered that surgeries have been stopped at the Edo state government owned health facilities like primary health centres in the state capital, the Edo State Specialist Hospital and others to avoid deaths.

 

 

 

 

 

There was anxiety at the NUJ press centre as the place was out of water supply which led to the leadership locking all bathrooms and toilets in the complex because of lack of water. Journalists were stranded as many of them said their phones and laptops were out of power and some of them were sighted trooping to a nearby hotel to power their tools and send reports.

 

 

 

 

 

A dealer in frozen food at the Industrial hub told journalists that, “I have lost so much running into millions of naira. We were forced to bury our frozen products that had become unfrozen and were rotting away because we depended on this Ossiomo light.”

 

 

 

 

 

A staff of Ossiomo power laid the blame at the feet of the gas supplier, the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company Limited, a subsidiary of the NNPCL which he said questions the competence of some of the personnel there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“We are not suspecting sabotage though but the situation is that we have different oil mining licenses in this country supplying gas. Right now, about the biggest one is OML 34 in Oben operated by Seplat, compare the performance of Seplat at Oben and the performance of NPDC at Ologbo, the gas is there, the oil is there, the resources are there is just who is managing the resources, maintain and operating them, that is where the challenge is.

“For example, we had a challenge in one of our substations and NPDC brought archaic materials that put everybody at risk and we had to buy the equipment which is not our role. This has gone on for four days and if you ask them, they won’t even tell you but it has to do with competence.`”

When journalists visited the headquarters of the NPDC in Benin City, a senior personnel in the operations department said he cannot speak officially for the company but that, “I have been able to reach the engineer who is working to fix the problem and he assured the issue will be resolved before Sunday he said.”

Excitement as Zamfara Under Governor Lawal Begins Airlift of Pilgrims at Zamfara Airport

 

There is palpable excitement in Zamfara State as the administration of Governor Dauda Lawal officially commenced the 2026 Hajj airlift for pilgrims from the Gusau Airport (GIA). In a historic move aimed at easing the pilgrimage process, the state government announced that the first batch of pilgrims who departed for the Holy Land today, Friday, 15th May 2026.

This milestone marks the fulfillment of Governor Lawal’s promise to make direct departures from Zamfara a reality, eliminating the need for pilgrims to travel to other states for airlift. However, the state government has issued a strict advisory to the public regarding conduct at the airport. To ensure security and facilitate the smooth coordination of the airlift operations, escorting pilgrims to the airport is strictly prohibited.

Family members and friends wishing to bid farewell to their loved ones are directed to do so only at the Hajj Camp. The restriction, according to officials, is a necessary measure to prevent congestion and maintain order at the airport premises. Officials confirm that the airlift is now underway at Gusau International Airport. The development has been met with widespread praise from intending pilgrims, who expressed relief at being able to begin their spiritual journey directly from their home state.

The Zamfara State Government extended its sincere gratitude to Governor Lawal for his commitment, emphasizing that the direct airlift reflects a new chapter of convenience and efficiency for the state’s annual Hajj operations.

Dr. Chris Okafor Declares Grace Nation Is In The Season Of Signs And Wonders

…Reaffirm that when disobedience occurs, God’s Kingdom withdraws; serving with sincerity and fervor leads to triumph

~By Sunday Adeyemi

 

The metamorphosis of Grace Nation into a terrestrial paradise is palpable, with multifaceted miracles manifesting daily, as it has evolved from a church into a comprehensive movement where the all-powerful hand of God operates in diverse dimensions

The 14th of May 2026 midweek Prophetic Healing Deliverance and Solutions service was a testament to the power of faith, witnessing remarkable displays of miraculous healings, deliverances, and solutions. God’s omnipresent hand was visibly manifest, touching lives and restoring health, notably in the case of a man afflicted with body pains for 26 years, who, after being prayed for by the Generational Prophet, experienced instantaneous relief.

During the midweek service, a notable miracle took place when an 11-year-old boy who was born mute spoke for the first time. Furthermore, a woman carrying twins for an extraordinary period of 2 years was suddenly delivered; labor ensued immediately after she received prayer, necessitating her hospitalization. In a stunning display of divine intervention, growth ceased, and a woman testified to the efficacy of the Generational Prophet’s prayers, which had been offered on her behalf a few weeks earlier. Specifically, her business-related struggles seemed insurmountable until her tricycle, which had lain dormant for weeks, suddenly sprang to life without any mechanical intervention.

Marital obstacles hindering the two brides-to-be were removed, as many expectant mothers were blessed with miracle babies. It is evident that Grace Nation is undergoing its phases of astounding Signs and Wonders.

Generational Prophet Dr. Chris Okafor, in his teachings on ‘Dealing With My Daddy’s Devil,’ points out that the sins of fathers can weigh heavily on their children, and unless one actively works to break this cycle, generational battles will inevitably continue from one generation to the next

*How to Deal with Your Daddy’s Devil*

To successfully address the issue of generational curses or strongholds in your family, it is necessary to understand the underlying spiritual principles and technical aspects. Knowing the source and method of entry of the devil into your bloodline, as well as the reasons behind its establishment in your father’s house, is vital. By understanding these key concepts, you will be able to make positive changes and effectively deal with these generational battles

*Breaking Free from Generational Conflict.*

In order to overcome the devilish influences of your father, serving your Lord and Savior in truth and spirit is essential; this empowers and elevates you above all earthly struggles

A strong prayer life is crucial for spiritual well-being; the devil commonly uses the depletion of one’s prayer life as a tactic to dominate the lives of God’s spiritually vulnerable children

Hence, the sole legitimate approach to terminating the devil’s influence within one’s family lineage involves authentic devotion to God, necessitating a superior force to dislodge an entrenched inferior spirit, with Generational Prophet of God Dr. Chris Okafor underscoring adherence to covenant principles as pivotal in transcending intergenerational curses

The midweek Prophetic Healing Deliverance and Solutions (PHDS) took place at the International Headquarters of Grace Nation Worldwide, situated in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, Nigeria.
