Some residents of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, are set to experience prolonged power outages starting Monday, January 6.
This follows an announcement by the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company, AEDC, regarding planned disruptions in various parts of the city.
According to AEDC, the outages are due to the relocation of the 33KV DC Airport Feeder and the 132KV Kukwaba-Apo Transmission Line Towers along the Outer Southern Expressway.
In a statement released on its official X handle on Friday, the company stated: “Please be informed that there will be power interruptions from January 6-21, 2025, due to FCDA relocating the 33KV DC Airport Feeder and 132KV Kukwaba-Apo Transmission Line Towers along the Outer Southern Expressway.”
The affected areas include Lugbe and its environs, Airport Road, Kapwa, NNPC, Games Village, National Stadium, Eye Clinic, Indoor Complex, Christ Embassy Church, American International School, Spring Court, American Embassy Quarters, EFCC HQ, Coca Cola, Railway, FMC, parts of Apo, Gudu, Gbazango, Kubwa, Bwari, Jahi, Jabi, Karu, Nyanya, Mararaba, Keffi, and other areas within Abuja.
“We regret any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding,” the statement added.
This announcement comes less than a week after the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, conducted planned maintenance at two substations at the Gwagwalada 330/132/33kV Transmission Substation.
Despite these efforts, residents of Abuja continue to voice concerns over persistent power supply challenges.
