The Transmission Company of Nigeria says parts of Suleja and surrounding areas will experience a 20-minute electricity outage on Saturday. The company said the interruption is linked to its annual preventive maintenance programme, although the supplied announcement does not identify the exact affected locations or timing.

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced a planned 20-minute electricity outage in parts of Suleja and surrounding areas on Saturday. According to the announcement reported by Punch Nigeria, the interruption is connected to the company’s annual preventive maintenance programme. TCN did not provide further details in the supplied material about the precise time at which the outage will occur.

The announcement also does not list the specific neighbourhoods or facilities expected to be affected. It refers generally to parts of Suleja and its environs, meaning residents in the area may experience a temporary interruption to supply while the maintenance work is carried out. No further information was provided about the equipment involved, the expected restoration process or whether other communities would be affected.

The notice identifies the planned duration as 20 minutes and the scheduled day as Saturday. Preventive maintenance is the stated reason for the interruption, but TCN did not describe the work in greater detail in the available report. Residents and businesses in the affected area will therefore have to rely on the company’s announcement for the limited information currently available about the planned outage.
