The Transmission Company of Nigeria, Lagos
Region, has announced that many parts of the state
will experience blackout between 10am and 1pm
today (Monday).
According to the TCN, the affected areas are Ikoyi,
Victoria Island, Alagbon, Apapa, Ijora, Surulere, Itire,
Oshodi, Mushin; the Nigerian Airforce Base,
Shogunle, and their environs.
The company said in a statement on Sunday that
the disruption of electricity supply to customers in
these locations was a result of the need to carry out
an urgent maintenance work on the Akangba 132KV
transmission substation.
The Public Relations Officer, TCN, Lagos Region,
Mrs. Celestina Osin, said in the statement, “The
reason for the planned outage is to enable the MBH
Contractor carry out a very important repair work on
the Itire 132KV Transmission Line 1 and the Ojo
132KV Transmission Line 2 from which the areas
are fed electricity for better service to them.
“During the period the outage will last, the 4X90
MVA power transformers and another 150MVA
power transformer will be out of service at the
Akangba 132KV substation in order to provide a
safe working space for the workers.
We promise to restore supply to all the affected
areas as soon as the work is concluded.
“We sincerely apologise for the short notice on the
outage and regrets inconveniences this will cause
all that will be affected.”
