The region’s erratic electricity supply, according to the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC), is caused by generation facilities not providing enough power to the firm.
This was revealed by Adamu Muhammed, public relations officer for the AEDC’s Niger Region, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Minna.
“The Management of AEDC PLC wishes to inform its valued customers that it is aware of the unstable power supply experienced in recent times essentially caused by insufficient power allocation.
“We are doing everything we can to ensure that the impact of the power outages is minimised, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this challenging time.
“We appeal to our esteemed customers that we will continue to update them on the situation and provide any necessary information when it is available,” he said.
According to NAN, the Federal Capital Territory, the States of Niger, Kogi, and Nasarawa are included in AEDC’s franchise region. The business is set up across the four states in 39 local offices and nine areas.
