Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) has said that power supply in Abuja will be disrupted from January 6 to 21, 2025.
Gatekeepers News reports that AEDC made the announcement through a statement on Friday.
The company noted that the expected blackout is due to Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) relocating feeder and transmission line towers along the outer southern expressway.
It said, “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 following areas will experience outages during the period of this exercise: Lugbe & 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, Parts of Gudu, Gbazango & environs, Parts of Kubwa, Bwari & environs, Parts of Jahi, Parts of Jabi, Karu, Nyanya, Mararaba, Keffi & environs, and other parts of Abuja.”
The company apologised for any inconvenience and expressed appreciation for the people’s understanding.
Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) disrupted power supply in some parts of the federal capital territory in December 2024 due to maintenance exercises that were carried out at two transmission substations on December 28 and 29.
