The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has denied responsibility for the power outage in several parts of Abuja.
Its denial counters claims by the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC), that blamed the outage in areas such as Dilic Hotel, Prime Plaza, Exclusive Stores, Gilmore, Takwa Crescent, and Former Zartech in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on a “technical fault” from the Transmission Company of Nigeria.
This is contained in a statement on Thursday by Ndidi Mbah, spokesperson for TCN.
The statement reads; “The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) informs the public that the power outage affecting Dilic Hotel, Prime Plaza, Exclusive Stores, PENCOM, AMCON, Gilmore, Takwa Crescent, Former Zartech, and its environ is not due to at technical fault from TCN, contrary to Abuja Distribution Company (AEDC)’s claim,” Mbah said.
“TCN’s feeders serving these areas are not in any way experiencing outages. For emphasis, TCN’s feeders serving these areas are functioning normally, contrary to AEDC’s claim.”
The claims and counter claims now put residents in confusion as to the cause of the power outage.
