Technical glitches throw Abuja, Lagos residents into darkness

Technical glitch has lead to shortages of insufficient electricity power supply in places like Abuja Lagos and Nasarawa.

On Tuesday the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company, said the glitch was due to heavy load restrictions across many of its transmission load centres.

The power distribution firm said, the transmission stations affected include Oworo, Maryland, Itire, Isolo, Ogba, Alausa, Ejigbo, Alimosho and others.

The current service disruption you are encountering is a result of significant load restrictions across many of our transmission load centres, particularly impacting:

Oworo TS, Maryland TS, Itire TS, Isolo TS, Ogba TS, Alausa TS, Ejigbo TS, Alimosho TS, Ilupeju TS, Ayobo TS.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused. We are actively collaborating with relevant stakeholders to restore normal operations,” the Ikeja DisCo said.

Also, the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company declared to its client that they were in shortage of light after windstorms brought down the transmission line in Nasarawa.

Meanwhile, some areas in the Abuja also lament that they were in darkness due to a technical fault.

This is to notify residents in Nasarawa State: Uke, Gidan Zakara, Gora, Auta-Baleifi, Tukur Farm, CS Farm, Masaka, Keffi GRA, Luvu, Dunamis Community 1&2, Dadin Kowa, Keffi and its environs that the power outage currently being experienced is due to damage to the lines serving these areas, caused by strong winds.
