The Digest:

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced a scheduled power disruption affecting several parts of Abuja for over two weeks, starting October 28. The outage, attributed to road construction by the Federal Capital Development Authority, will impact major areas including Apo, Asokoro, and Wuye during daily working hours.

Key Points:
  • TCN announces planned power outage in parts of Abuja from October 28 to November 16.
  • The disruption is due to road construction affecting the 132kV Gwagwalada-Kukwaba-Apo transmission line.
  • Affected areas include Apo, Lokogoma, Guzape, Asokoro, Wuye, Utako, Jabi, and Idu Industrial Layout.
  • The outage will be implemented in three phases during daytime hours only.
  • Power will be restored each evening after construction work concludes.
  • TCN emphasizes that the measure is necessary for public safety during the construction period.
  • The company apologizes for the inconvenience and assures that normal supply will resume after November 16.
While essential for infrastructure development, this extended disruption highlights the fragile balance between progress and daily convenience in Nigeria's capital city.
