Residents of Abuja are set to face power outages from January 6 to 21 as the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) begins the relocation of key transmission towers along the Outer Southern Expressway.
The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (Abuja DisCo) announced this in a statement released on Friday.
“Power interruptions will occur from January 6 – 21, 2025, as the FCDA undertakes the relocation of the 33KV DC Airport Feeder and 132KV Kukwaba-Apo Transmission Line Towers,” Abuja DisCo said.

The December outages occurred on December 28 and 29, affecting various parts of the FCT.
