The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced a scheduled power outage in parts of Abuja to facilitate annual preventive maintenance on two transformers at the Apo 132/33kV Transmission Substation.
In a statement on Friday, TCN’s General Manager of Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, confirmed that the maintenance will take place on Saturday, February 22, and Sunday, February 23, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily.
The outage will affect different areas on both days. On Saturday, impacted locations will include the National Hospital, G2 Injection Station, Garki, Area 1, and Asokoro.
On Sunday, power will be interrupted in Apo Legislative Quarters, Apo Resettlement, Gudu, and Apo Mechanic Village.
TCN explained that the maintenance is essential, as the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company will be unable to receive bulk power supply from the affected transformers during the process.
The company assured residents that power supply would be restored promptly after the maintenance and apologized for any inconvenience caused.
