The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced that parts of Abuja, the federal capital territory (FCT) will be without electricity power supply on Tuesday.
TCN disclosed that its maintenance crew will carry out planned maintenance on two of its power transformers at the Apo 132/33kV transmission substation and that this will happen from 9 am to 3 pm.
According to TCN, the six-hour maintenance exercise is to enable its engineers work on the secondary busbar overhead of the 100MVA and the 60MVA 132/33kV transformers in the substation.
“Consequently, Abuja DisCo will be unable to offtake electricity to distribute to its customers in Garki, Asokoro, Lugbe and Airport,” a statement by the company reads.
According to the statement signed by Ndidi Mbah TCN’s General Manager of Public Affairs, electricity power supply will be restored immediately the maintenance is completed.
