Aba Power Ltd has apologised to its customers over a system collapse that affected power supply in Aba
According to sources at the National Control Centre at Oshogbo in Osun State who did not want their names mentioned because they are not authorised to speak to the public, the national grid collapsed at 13.49 pm.
The sources provided no information on the cause of the system failure or when power is expected to be restored.
Meanwhile, Aba Power Ltd has notified consumers in its ring-fenced area covering nine local government areas in Abia State its services of the development.
Apologising for the blackout, the utility firm, Nigeria’s 12th distribution company, pledged to resume power supply once the “problem is sorted out”.
In a statement signed by Patrick Umeh, the Aba Power Managing Director who used to be a commissioner with the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), the company said “The NCC engineers are sparing no effort to restore electricity throughout the country as soon as possible”.
