Abuja to Experience Extended Power Outages This Weekend, TCN Announces.

Residents of Abuja are set to face extended power outages this weekend, as the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) announces planned disruptions to the city’s electricity supply. The outages are scheduled to take place on Saturday and Sunday, as maintenance work is carried out on critical transmission lines. TCN has advised residents to prepare for power cuts lasting several hours at a time.

The maintenance, which is essential to ensure the continued reliability of the national grid, will affect multiple areas across Abuja. TCN has assured residents that efforts are being made to minimize the duration of the outages, but the disruptions are expected to be unavoidable due to the scope of the work. The power interruptions are also likely to extend to surrounding areas as the grid is temporarily reconfigured.

This planned power outage comes at a time when power supply in many parts of Nigeria is already unstable, with residents often experiencing frequent disruptions. In Abuja, however, this is one of the longest planned outages in recent months, sparking concerns among businesses, schools, and households that rely heavily on a stable power supply. TCN has urged all affected parties to plan accordingly and take necessary precautions.

While many understand the importance of the maintenance work, there are still concerns about the impact on daily life. Many Abuja residents, particularly in commercial districts, depend on electricity for their livelihoods, making such outages particularly disruptive. The disruptions are expected to affect activities like business operations, schooling, and even water supply, as many homes and offices rely on electric-powered pumps.

In response to public concerns, TCN has promised to update residents regularly about the progress of the maintenance and the resumption of normal service. The company has also advised residents to take steps to conserve energy during the planned outage to prevent further strain on the grid once power is restored. Despite the inconvenience, the TCN emphasizes that the long-term benefits of the work will ensure a more stable and reliable electricity supply in the future.
