Another power outage has affected at least eight embassies and several residential estates in Abuja, with the electricity distribution company attributing the disruption to a technical fault on the feeder supplying the affected areas.

In a statement, the electricity distribution company assured residents and businesses that its technical team was working diligently to restore power as soon as possible.

“We regret the inconvenience caused by this outage and appreciate our customers’ patience as we work to resolve the issue,” the statement read.

Meanwhile, the company also announced a planned maintenance activity scheduled for Sunday, March 23, 2025, that will result in a temporary disruption of vending services for prepaid customers.

The statement read: “During this brief window, prepaid customers may experience momentary interruptions when recharging their meters or accessing vending platforms. Normal service will resume immediately after the maintenance is completed. This activity is part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our service experience for our customers and ensure greater reliability and efficiency.
