The Transmission Company of Nigeria
(TCN) has announced a six-hour power outage on Saturday for residents in parts of the Federal Capital Territory.
The outage is necessary for TCN’s maintenance crew to conduct a scheduled annual preventive maintenance on its 132kV line 1 at Gwagwalada and Apo Transmission Substations.
The maintenance, scheduled from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, will result in a power interruption at the 132/33kV Kukwaba Transmission Substation. Affected areas include Lokogoma, Kabusa Garden, TradeMore, Pyakasa, Aleyita, Chika, Games Village, Stadium, Wuye, Utako, Life Camp, and Idu.
Ndidi Mbah, TCN’s spokesperson, apologized for any inconvenience caused, assuring customers that power supply would be restored promptly after the maintenance work.
“Power supply will be restored as soon as the maintenance work is completed as indicated.
“We regret any inconveniences this will cause electricity consumers in the affected areas,” the statement read.
This announcement comes after the TCN Gwagwalada-Kukwaba-Apo 132KV Transmission Line 1 was attacked by suspected vandals in December, prompting the need for repairs.
