…FCT residents to enjoy seamless electricity
By Dele Ogbodo
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has successfully restored full bulk power to its 132/33kV Apo Transmission Substation, effective Thursday, January 23, 2025.
This restoration which brought joy to residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) followed the successful relocation of eight 132kV and 33kV towers along the Kukwaba/Apo 132kV line (Southern Expressway route), necessitated by the Federal Capital Development Agency’s (FCDA) road dualization project along the Apo axis.
The General Manager, Public Affairs and Corporate Communications at TCN, Mrs. Ndidi Mbah, told EXTRAORDINAIRE that of the two-week relocation work, which commenced since Monday, January 6, 2025, involved dismantling, and reconstructing the towers, as well as restringing power cables.
With the restoration of full bulk power, Abuja DisCo can now provide normal electricity supply from the substation to its customers in the affected areas, ending the previous load rationing.
She acknowledged that TCN appreciates the patience and understanding of the affected electricity consumers during this period.
