Mbah explained that maintenance is crucial to ensuring the transformers remain in optimal condition.

However, the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) will be unable to receive bulk power supply from the affected transformers during the process.

On Saturday, the blackout will affect the National Hospital, G2 Injection Station, Garki, Area 1, and Asokoro.

By Sunday, residents in Apo Legislative Quarters, Apo Resettlement, Gudu, Apo Mechanic, and surrounding areas will also experience power disruptions.

TCN assured residents that electricity would be restored immediately after the maintenance.

“Power supply will be restored once the maintenance exercise is completed. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause the affected electricity customers,” the statement added.

The company urged affected residents to make necessary preparations ahead of the scheduled outage.
