Some residents of the Federal Capital Territory will experience a long period of power outages starting next week on Monday.
This is due to an announcement by the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company that there will be power disruptions in several parts of the capital.
The company said the power outage will occur due to the relocation of the 33KV DC Airport Feeder and 132KV Kukwaba-Apo Transmission Line Towers along the Outer Southern Expressway.
A statement on its official X handle on Friday said the relocation operation would occur between January 6 and 31.
The statement read: “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.”
It said the areas that will experience outages during the period include “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.”
Others are 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.
“We regret any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding,” it added.
The new development comes barely a week after the Transmission Company of Nigeria disrupted power supply to conduct planned maintenance exercises at two transmission substations at the Gwagwalada 330/132/33kV Transmission Substation.
Despite the effort, FCT residents still complain of poor power supply.
