Abuja Electricity Distribution Company, AEDC, has announced a power outage in parts of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja in a statement on Tuesday.
The AEDC management attributed the challenge to a technical fault on the feeder serving the areas affected by the outage.
The statement read: “Dear valued customers in Central Area, Wuse Zone 3 & 4, Nicon Hotel, Sheraton Hotel, Grand Square, Rochas Plaza, MTN Switch Yard, Millennium Park, Statement Hotel, Police Station Wuse Zone 3, Kings Care Hospital, Abidjan Street, Abacha Estate, Labour House, Stanbic Bank, GT Bank, First Bank, Ikwerre Street, and surrounding areas.
“This is to inform you that the power outage is due to a technical fault on the feeder serving these areas. Our dedicated technical team is working tirelessly to restore power as quickly as possible.”
Recalled that few weeks ago, The Pinnacle Times reported a two-week outage in parts of Abuja as a result of the relocation of the 33KV DC Airport Feeder and 132KV Kukwaba-Apo Transmission Line Towers along the Outer Southern Motorway.
The development has led concerned residents, especially business people complaining about the cost of running their daily activities, having to rely on expensive diesel and other sources to cope with the situation.
