  "summary": "The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced a scheduled power supply disruption in parts of Kogi State on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. The blackout is due to maintenance work at the 330/132kV Ajaokuta Transmission Substation. TCN stated that the maintenance exercise is necessary to prevent the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) from supplying power to customers in Adogo, Anyigba, Ganaja and adjoining areas in Kogi State. The maintenance will focus on the bay switchgear and associated equipment on the 132kV Ajaokuta Transmission Line 1.",
