In a statement released on Friday via its official X account, AEDC disclosed that the affected areas include the Federal Secretariat, Wuse Zone 1-7, Central Mosque, Energy Commission, Transcorp Hotel, Eagle Square, Yar’adua Centre, and the entire Central Area.
Additionally, the power outage has impacted the TCN HQ, CAC HỌ, NYSC HO, INEC, the entire Maitama, Kado Estate, parts of Jabi District, Area 7, 8 & 10 Garki, and its environs.
