The Transmission Company of Nigeria has announced an impending power interruption in some parts of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja on Sunday.
The General Manager of Public Affairs of the TCN, Ndidi Mbah, announced this in a statement issued in Abuja on Saturday.
She said that on Sunday, between 9am and 10pm, maintenance work would be carried out on one of the 60MVA power transformers at 132/33kV transmission substation at Kukwaba.
Mbah said: “This will result in power interruption in Wuye, EFCC, Federal Medical Centre, Coca-Cola, Idu Railway Station, Citec, and Life Camp.

“The TCN apologises for the inconvenience this may cause, especially given the Yuletide and end-of-the-year festivities.
“However, it is important that maintenance is carried out as scheduled for optimal performance of power equipment.”
Mbah noted that TCN had earlier on Saturday carried out similar maintenance on the 60 MVA power transformer and its associated switch gears at the Gwagwalada 330/132/33 Kilo Volt (kV) Transmission Substation.
She said that while the maintenance lasted, there was disruption in electricity distribution in Gwagwalada and environs during the hours of 9am and 1pm.
