The statement read, “EKEDC has announced a daily planned power outage from Monday, July 28th, to Thursday, August 21st 2025, due to essential maintenance work by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) on the Omotosho-Ikeja West 330 kV line.

In other news, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has criticised President Bola Tinubu over the failure to deliver on the campaign promise of providing Nigerians with uninterrupted electricity within four years.
Naijaonpoint reports that the interim spokesman of ADC, Bolaji Abdullahi, in a statement on Saturday, questioned Tinubu on how long Nigerians would have to wait before the fulfilment of his campaign promise.
Abdullahi reminded Tinubu that it is past the halfway mark of his administration, and millions of Nigerians are still charging their phones at mobile charging kiosks and spending hundreds of thousands to fuel their generators.
