Abuja electricity faulty feeders black out parts of city
Some parts of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT have been blacked out due to faulty feeders of the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company, AEDC.
The power outage was contained in a statement on Saturday by the company saying that the development was due to a “technical fault” on the feeders serving the affected areas.
The company listed the locations affected as Efab Classic Estate, Metro City Estate, Sticks & Stones, Yayala Estate, Trademore Estate, Choos Estate, Maxcare Plaza, Faith Plaza, Sunflower Plaza, Erifu Estate, DME Estate, Earthpoint Estate, Sunnyvale Estate, and Brains & Hammers 1, 2, 4.
Others are Hunters Garden, Ecofitness, Airport, NJI, NARSDA, NABDA, Lugbe Shoprite, Riverpark Estate, War College, Dunamis, NIGCOMSAT, Passo Village, Paiko Village, Dobi Community, SHEDA Science & Technology Complex, Kwali Town, WaterBoard, Abaji Town, Gishiri, Mabushi, Kadokuchi, Navy Estate, Anan House, and Jahi Village.
The NAF Conference Centre, Lake View Phase 182, Custom Quarters, Dakibiu, Today Estate, parts of Dape District, Katsina Estate, Paradise Estate, Ochacho Estate, Kafe District, America Embassy Estate, parts of Gwarinpa and its environs were also included on the list affected areas.
The AEDC apologised to its numerous customers for the blackout which it said was due to feeders’ technical fault, stressing that its technical team was working for quick restoration.
“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 announced that power supply in Abuja would be disrupted due to the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) relocating feeder and transmission line towers along the outer southern expressway.
In December 2024, power supply in some parts of the FCT was disrupted due to maintenance exercises by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).
