Residents and businesses in Lokoja and surrounding areas are experiencing power outages following a technical fault on a key transformer, according to Abuja Electricity Distribution Plc (AEDC).
The outage affects multiple locations, including Koton Karfe, Kerif, Gagu, Banda, Fertilizer Coy, Felele, Star Times, GRA, Township, Lokogoma, parts of Phase 1 and Phase 2, Workers Village, Zone 8, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) facility, Government House, Specialist Hospital, and the Federal Medical Centre (FMC).
