The General Manager, Corporate Communications of the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC), Oyebode Fadipe, has alerted residents of Nasarawa, Kogi, Niger and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on grid system outage that occurred on Wednesday.
Fadipe disclosed this in a statement in Abuja that the outage occurred at about 12:26pm on Wednesday.
The statement reads, “Following a grid system outage that occurred at about 12:26pm today, we have been unable to serve our customers in Niger, Kogi and Nasarawa States as well as a significant portion of the entire Federal Capital Territory.
“At the moment, only 20MW has been allocated to AEDC as against the over 400MW that we have been receiving in recent times.
