Residents of parts of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Abuja have expressed frustration over days of prolonged power outages. These outages have disrupted businesses, water supply, and daily activities for many. Fatima Muhammad, a resident of Kubwa, shared that the blackout affected her household and baking business, causing financial losses and spoiling her baked products due to the lack of electricity. Many others have taken to social media to voice their frustration over the power interruptions.
The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) has been criticized for its response to the situation, with some residents accusing it of failing to resolve the problem efficiently. A user on X, Peace Kanu PIAK, highlighted that residents in Dutse had been without electricity for two days when the TCN technical team updated them on the situation.
Landlords' associations in Ushafa, Dutse, and Kubwa are reportedly planning a protest for Monday if the power situation remains unchanged. The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) announced a planned interruption of electricity supply in parts of Abuja for maintenance at its 132/33kV Kubwa Substation. The AEDC informed customers that the disruption they are experiencing is due to a technical fault on TCN's 330kV Shiroro-Katampe transmission line.
