The AEDC has assured customers that its dedicated technical team was “working tirelessly to restore power as quickly as possible.”
The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) has announced a partial blackout in several areas of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) due to a technical fault on the feeders serving those locations.
The AEDC noted that the affected areas include: Efab Classic Estate, Metro City Estate, Sticks & Stones, Yayala Estate, Trademore Estate, Choos Estate, Maxcare Plaza, Faith Plaza, Sunflower Plaza, Erifu Estate, DME Estate, Earthpoint Estate, Sunnyvale Estate, and Brains & Hammers 1, 2, 4.

The AEDC listed more areas to include the NAF Conference Centre, Lake View Phase 182, Custom Quarters, Dakibiu, Today Estate, parts of Dape District, Katsina Estate, Paradise Estate, Ochacho Estate, Kafe District, America Embassy Estate, parts of Gwarinpa and its environs were also included on the list affected areas.
The AEDC has assured customers that its dedicated technical team was “working tirelessly to restore power as quickly as possible.”
The recent outage is part of a recurring pattern of power disruptions in the FCT, with previous outages occurring in April, January, and December 2024.
In January 2025, the AEDC announced a planned blackout in some parts of Abuja due to the relocation of the 33KV DC Airport Feeder and 132KV Kukwaba-Apo Transmission Line Towers along the Outer Southern Motorway.
Residents in some areas have expressed frustration over the frequent outages, with some threatening to protest if the situation is not addressed.
In May, residents of Bwari Area Council, which includes areas like Kubwa, Dutse, Gwarinpa, and others, were affected by a prolonged blackout due to a faulty circuit breaker at the Kubwa transmission station.
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) attributed the delay in restoring power to bureaucratic processes in acquiring funds for replacement.
