The Transmission Company of Nigeria ,TCN, has informed Lagosians that maintenance work will commence on Monday, July 28, 2025, which would lead to intermittent power cut in many parts of the state.
TCN also announced that blackouts will be felt mostly between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily for a period of 25 days scheduled for the maintenance on Omotosho–Ikeja West 330kV power line.
Speaking on the sidelines of the power transmission maintenance on Channels Television programme, ‘Sunrise Daily’, the Chief Executive Officer, CEO of the Association of Nigerian Electricity Distributors (ANED), Sunday Oduntan, allayed the fears expressed by some section of Lagos residents, saying that power supply will be restored by 5 p.m. each day during the 25-day maintenance of the Omotosho–Ikeja West 330kV power line.
“We now need to start believing in our institutions. I am not a TCN person; I am a spokesman for the Discos. But I can tell you for a fact that what they are trying to do has been planned over a long period of time, and they will surely keep to exactly what it is.
“These are engineering works. This is not law, as a lawyer, I can tell you: if this were a case in court, I’d say, ‘Don’t worry, in three weeks we should be able to get judgment.’ But that’s not guaranteed.
“In engineering work, they know exactly what to do, here and there. They know how long it will take, and they know why it is taking this long,” stated Mr. Oduntan.
