The exercise is scheduled to take place from 10:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Ndidi Mbah, TCN’s general manager, public affairs, said this in a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday.

 “TCN hereby notifies the public of a scheduled maintenance exercise on its 60MVA 132/33kV transformer at the Minna Transmission Substation on Thursday, from 10:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
