Residents and businesses across Abuja and parts of Nasarawa, Niger and Kogi states have been thrown into prolonged power outages as the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) blamed the situation on limited energy supply from Nigeria’s national grid.
AEDC made the disclosure in a notice issued on Friday via its official X (formerly Twitter) handle, admitting that electricity supply within its franchise areas has dropped significantly due to reduced allocation from the grid.
The electricity firm said the development has resulted in widespread outages and supply shortages, further worsening an already fragile power situation in the Federal Capital Territory and surrounding states.
“We are keenly aware of the current low power supply and outages being experienced by customers across our franchise area,” AEDC said.
“Several locations are currently facing significant disruptions as a result of limited energy supply from the grid.”
The company added that its technical teams are monitoring the situation, but offered no concrete timeline for full restoration of supply.
“Our technical team is closely monitoring the situation in real time and remains fully committed to restoring normal service at the earliest possible time, as soon as our grid allocation improves,” the statement read.
