According to a memo on Tuesday, the General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, said the outage would occur from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. to enable the TCN maintenance crew to carry out urgent work on the 150MVA TR1 330/132/33kV power transformer at the Lokoja Transmission Substation.
“The exercise is to enable TCN maintenance crew work on 150MVA TR1 330/132/33kV power transformer,” the memo read.
