Blackout in FCT due to Road Construction – TCN
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has said that some parts of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) will experience temporary power outages due to ongoing road construction along the Kuje axis.
The TCN said the project, being carried out by the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA), would run from Tuesday, October 28, to Sunday, November 16.
“The construction work will affect the 132kV Gwagwalada- Kukwaba–Apo Double Circuit Transmission line. In view of this, TCN will undertake a planned load management operation that will involve temporary interruption of power within the working hours for the road construction to ensure the safety of all stakeholders,” a statement by its General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, partly read.
It said the first phase was scheduled to commence from October 28 to November 2, 2025, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
“The planned outage will be executed in three phases to enhance seamless operations. The first phase is scheduled to commence from Tuesday, October 28, to Sunday, November 2, 2025, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 pm daily.
“The second phase will take place from November 6 to November 9, 2025, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily, while the third phase will take effect from November 12 to November 16, 2025, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. daily,” it said.
However, the TCN assured that during this period, the following areas within the FCT, namely Apo, Lokogoma, Guzape, Asokoro, Wuye, Utako, Jabi, and Idu Industrial Layout, would experience temporary power interruption, while normal power supply will be restored to the affected areas at the end of each day’s work period.
“TCN regrets any inconvenience this may cause affected electricity consumers and appeals for understanding to enhance infrastructure development within the FCT,” it added.
