Electricity supply disruptions in Nigeria

Overview

Residents and business owners in Abuja, specifically in areas such as Kubwa, Dutse, and Dei-Dei, have reported persistent power outages and total blackouts. These disruptions have increased business costs for local artisans forced to use petrol generators and have caused food spoilage for residents.

By mid-October, electricity distribution companies reported widespread supply disruptions across Lagos, Abuja, and Ogun State. Ikeja Electric attributed reduced supply in Lagos to a shortfall in power allocation from the national grid. In the Federal Capital Territory, the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company cited technical faults as the cause for outages in areas including Kado Fish Market and Life Camp Extension. Meanwhile, in Ogun State, the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company linked reduced supply to load restrictions on the Ota/Papalanto/Abeokuta 132kV transmission network.
