(AEDC) wishes to notify its esteemed customers in (Abuja) that the power outage being experienced is due to a fault affecting the 33kV NIPP feeder and repairs on the transmission station at AT4 are ongoing,” the company said. The AEDC said the locations affected are Dantata Estate, FO1, Chikakore, Byazhin, Byazhin Across, Gbazango, Guida community, Military Pension Board area, and its environs. “While we regret the inconvenience caused by the power outage, please be assured that all the relevant stakeholders are working relentlessly to ensure the power supply is restored soonest,” it said.
