The company said the blackout is due to the relocation of the 33KV DC Airport Feeder and 132KV Kukwaba-Apo Transmission Line Towers along the Outer Southern Motorway.
The distribution company made this known in a statement on its official X handle on Friday, January 3, 2025, noting that the disruptions would occur from January 6 to 21, 2025.
The statement read: “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 Motorway.”
AEDC said areas that will be affected during the period include Lugbe & 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, and parts of Apo.
Others are parts of Gudu, Gbazango & environs; parts of Kubwa, Bwari & environs; parts of Jahi; parts of Jabi; Karu, Nyanya, Mararaba, and Keffi & environs; and other parts of Abuja.
They said they are working around the clock to reduce downtime as much as possible. Hopefully, the procession time will be reduced because that will be a lot of inconvenience for people, especially business owners.
