The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced a planned power outage in parts of Abuja, set to last seven hours each day over the weekend, to facilitate annual preventive maintenance on two transformers at the Apo 132/33kV Transmission Substation.
According to a statement by Ndidi Mbah, the General Manager of Public Affairs at TCN, the maintenance is scheduled for Saturday, February 22, and Sunday, February 23, 2025, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm daily.
Due to the maintenance work, the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company will be unable to receive the bulk power supply from the affected transformers, leading to power interruptions in several areas.
On Saturday, the outage will affect locations including the National Hospital, G2 Injection Station, Garki, Area 1, and Asokoro for a duration of seven hours. On Sunday, areas such as the Apo Legislative Quarters, Apo Resettlement, Gudu, Apo Mechanic, and surrounding regions will similarly experience a seven-hour disruption.
TCN explained that these power interruptions are unavoidable during the maintenance exercise and assured the public that power will be fully restored once the work is completed. The company also expressed its apologies for any inconvenience caused to the affected customers during this period.
