Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) has announced that power supply in Abuja will be disrupted from January 6 to 21, 2025.
The expected blackout is due to the Federal Capital Development Authority ( FCDA) relocating feeder and transmission line towers along the Outer Southern Expressway.
In a statement on Friday, AEDC said, “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.”
Areas affected include Lugbe and 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, parts of Gudu, Gbazango and environs, parts of Kubwa, Bwari and environs, parts of Jahi, parts of Jabi, Karu, Nyanya, Mararaba, Keffi, and other parts of Abuja.
The AEDC apologised for any inconvenience and expressed appreciation for residents’ understanding.
Similar disruptions occurred in December 2024 when maintenance exercises were conducted by the Transmission Company of Nigeria ( TCN) at two transmission substations on December 28 and 29.
