Earlier in February this year, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) announced a blackout in the Capital Territory.
It was noted then that maintenance crews were scheduled to conduct preventive work on the 2x100MVA TR3 & TR4 transformers at the Apo 132/33kV Transmission Substation on Saturday, February 22, and Sunday, February 23, 2025, from 9am to 4pm daily.
As a result, critical areas of Abuja, including the National Hospital, G2 Injection Station, Garki, Area 1, and Asokoro, were expected to experience a seven-hour power cut.
Similarly, the Apo Legislative Quarters, Apo Resettlement, Gudu, Apo Mechanic, and surrounding areas were plunged into darkness for seven hours.
According to the TCN Public Affairs GM, Ndidi Mbah, the power outage was unavoidable due to the inability of Abuja DisCo to receive bulk power supply during the maintenance period.
