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.

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

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.
