The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) has explained that the blackout being experienced in parts of the Federal Capital Territory is due to a technical fault.
In a notice released on Saturday via its X account, AEDC stated that the power outage has affected numerous areas across Abuja, including Jabi, Kado Estate, parts of Life Camp, Gishiri, Mabuchi, and several other neighborhoods.
According to the electricity distribution company, other affected areas include Kadokuchi, Navy Estate, Anan House, Jahi Village, NAF Conference Centre, Lake View Phase 1 & 2, Custom Quarters, Dakibiu and surrounding environments.
The company assured residents that its technical team is actively working to resolve the issue, though it did not provide a specific timeline for when electricity supply would be restored to the affected areas.
"We regret to inform you that the ongoing power outage affecting your area is due to a technical fault," AEDC stated in its notice.
"Our technical team is working tirelessly to restore power supply as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to serve you better," the company added.
Power outages have been a recurring challenge in Nigeria's capital city, often attributed to technical issues, maintenance operations, or load shedding due to insufficient generation capacity.
Residents in the affected areas are advised to make alternative power arrangements while the technical team works on resolving the fault.
