The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, has announced that there will be electricity disruption lasting about three weeks in parts of Abuja.
TCN’s spokesperson, Ndidi Mbah, disclosed this in a statement on Monday.
According to the company, the outage, scheduled from Tuesday, October 28 to Sunday, November 16, is due to road construction activities in the Federal Capital Territory.
It explained that the 132-kilovolt Gwagwalada–Kukwaba–Apo double-circuit transmission line would be without power supply during the period.
Consequently, bulk electricity supply will be temporarily unavailable in the Apo, Lokogoma, Guzape, Asokoro, Wuye, Utako, Jabi, and Idu Industrial Layout areas within the construction period.
“The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, wishes to inform the public that there will be power outages in some parts of the Federal Capital Territory.
“This is because the Federal Capital Development Authority will commence road construction works along the Kuje axis from Tuesday, 28th October, to 16th November, 2025.
“The construction work will affect the 132 kV Gwagwalada-Kukwaba-Apo double-circuit transmission line.
”In view of this, TCN will undertake a planned load management operation that will involve temporary interruption of power within the working hours for the road construction to ensure the safety of all stakeholders.
“The planned outage will be executed in three phases to enhance seamless operations.
“The first phase is scheduled to commence from Tuesday, 28th October, to Sunday, 2nd November, 2025, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 pm daily.
“The second phase will take place from 6th November to 9th November 2025 between 9.00 am and 5.00 pm daily.
“The third phase will take effect from 12th November to 16th November 2025 between 9.00 am and 5.00pm at the end of each day’s work period,” the statement added.
