Abuja residents have been notified of a planned 15-day power outage from Monday, January 6 to 20, 2025.
This announcement was made in a statement signed by Ndidi Mbah, General Manager, Public Affairs, Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), on Friday.
The outage is necessitated by the Federal Capital Development Agency’s (FCDA) road dualization project along the Apo axis.
According to TCN, “eight number 132kV and 33kV towers will be relocated along the Kukwaba/Apo 132kV line (Outer Southern Expressway route). This relocation work will necessitate a planned power outage from Monday, 6th January to Monday, 20th January 2025 from 9 am to 4 pm daily, which is the estimated duration for the dismantling and construction of the towers as well as restringing of the power cables that would enable resumption of bulk power supply to the Apo Transmission Substation from Gwagwalada Substation.”
This initiative, the statement says, is essential to facilitate the expansion and modernization of the Outer Southern Expressway, a project expected to significantly improve transportation efficiency and enhance urban development in the capital city.
The areas affected by this planned outage, according to the TCN statement, include Kubwa, Karu, Maraba, Nyanya, Masaka, Keffi, Kukwaba, and Apo Mechanic.
