TCN announces blackout in Kogi, gives reasons

The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, has announced a power supply disruption in parts of Kogi State on Tuesday.

TCN, in a statement on its X account on Monday, said the outage was due to maintenance at the 330/132kV Ajaokuta Transmission Substation.

According to TCN, the maintenance exercise is expected to take place on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The state-owned firm said the exercise would prevent the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company, AEDC, from supplying power to its customers in Adogo, Anyigba, Ganaja and adjoining areas in Kogi State.
