Residents and businesses in several parts of the Federal Capital Territory, including the Presidential Villa, National Assembly and Supreme Court, will experience a two-day power outage this weekend following planned maintenance by the Federal Capital Development Authority.
The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company announced the planned service interruption in a public notice issued on Thursday, saying the outage would affect customers on Saturday, July 18, and Sunday, July 19, 2026.
According to AEDC, the disruption is necessitated by the relocation of two electric power towers, identified as H3 and H5, from the 132/33kV Apo Transmission Station to facilitate ongoing road construction by the FCDA.
Areas listed for the outage include State House Villa, National Security Adviser headquarters, National Judicial Council, Supreme Court, National Assembly, Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Defence Intelligence Agency headquarters, State House Clinic, DSS headquarters, IBB Golf Club, ECOWAS Secretariat, the World Bank, General Hospital Asokoro, Guzape and several military formations.
