The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) regrets to inform customers in Maitama and surrounding areas that it is presently unable to supply electricity from its C2 Maitama Substation following the invasion and unlawful encroachment of the facility by land grabbers led by an Assistant Director of FCDA Mr. Chinedu Okoro
The C2 Maitama Substation is a critical electricity distribution installation serving homes, businesses, diplomatic missions and government institutions. During the encroachment, vital electricity cables and other network infrastructure were damaged, making it unsafe and technically impossible to continue power supply from the facility.
AEDC has also petitioned the relevant authorities over the activities of individuals, as the substation and its land duly belongs to AEDC. The Company expects a thorough investigation and appropriate action in accordance with the law.
We strongly condemn any encroachment on critical national infrastructure, as such actions deprive communities of essential electricity supply, disrupt economic activities and compromise public interest.
AEDC regrets the inconvenience caused and assures customers that restoration efforts will commence as soon as the substation is secured and the damaged infrastructure is rebuilt. We appreciate the understanding and support of our customers as we work with the relevant authorities to resolve this unfortunate situation.
