He explained that the power outage is imperative to facilitate essential maintenance work on the facilities by engineers from the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).
Emeka Ezeh pointed out that during the period, the 60MVA power transformer at the GCM station will be taken offline. The measure according to him is part of the broader efforts to enhance the reliability and efficiency of the electricity distribution system.
