The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) said that beginning from Monday, January 6 to Monday, January 20, 2025, the power supply to parts of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) would be on a rotational basis.
According to the company, the rationing was due to the ongoing road dualisation project by the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA).
The project is in the Apo axis of the nation’s capital.
TCN’s General Manager, Public Affairs, Mrs Ndidi Mbah, said the project required the relocation of eight 132kV and 33kV towers on the Kukwaba/Apo 132kV line.
She explained that the development would result in a planned power outage from 9 am to 4 pm daily.
The power outage, according to her, would affect areas such as Kubwa, Karu, Maraba, Nyanya, Masaka, Keffi, Kukwaba, and Apo Mechanic.
Other areas to be affected included parts of Lugbe, Trademore Estate, Pyakasa, Sabon Lugbe Chika, and Alaita axis.
While apologizing for the inconvenience, the TCN assured customers that the power supply would be restored as soon as the tower relocation and cable stringing were completed.
”This relocation work will necessitate a planned power outage from 6th to 20th Jan from 9 am to 4 pm daily, which is the estimated duration for the dismantling and construction of the towers.
“It will also allow for the restringing of the power cables that will enable the resumption of bulk power supply to the Apo Transmission Substation from Gwagwalada Substation”, the TCN statement said.
It stated that; “The relocation of the transmission towers is a necessity for the road completion project.”
