This development is part of the ongoing restoration efforts by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) on the damaged underground transmission line. The line was vandalized near Millennium Park in Abuja.

According to the AEDC, the TCN has assured that the repairs will be completed by February 23. The AEDC posted this update on its official social media handle on Wednesday, seeking understanding from affected residents.

The post read:

“Dear valued customers. We regret the continued power supply disruption affecting Wuye, Utako, Jabi, Mabushi, Katampe Districts, Life Camp, Wuse Zones 1-7, Wuse 2, Maitama, parts of the Central Business District and surrounding areas.

“This is due to the vandalisation of the 132kV Katampe – Central Area underground transmission cable.

The Transmission Company of Nigeria has assured us that restoration efforts are actively ongoing, with its engineers working day and night to replace and reconnect the damaged cable.

“TCN has committed to complete the work and restore normal power supply to Central Area Transmission Substation (AT5) on February 23, 2025.

“We understand the inconvenience this may cause you and sincerely appreciate your patience.

“While repair work continues, load management will be implemented to optimise available supply. We remain in close collaboration with TCN to ensure a swift resolution and the full restoration of power to the affected areas.”
