“We regret to inform you that the ongoing power outage is due to a technical fault affecting the feeders serving these locations,” the company said.
“Our dedicated technical team is working tirelessly to restore power as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to serve you better.”
The FCT has experienced prolonged outages in recent times. On April 10, the AEDC announced a power outage in parts of the FCT.
In January, the AEDC also announced some disruptions in power supply due to the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) relocating of feeder and transmission line towers along the outer southern expressway that was under construction.
In December 2024, power supply in some parts of the FCT was further disrupted due to maintenance exercises by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).
