A power outage has affected states within the Jos Electricity Distribution Company (JEDC) franchise area due to a fault on the 330kV double-circuit transmission lines from Ugwuji to Makurdi to Jos. The affected states include Gombe, Bauchi, Benue, and Plateau.
In a statement on Friday, Dr. Friday Elijah, Head of Corporate Communications, JEDC, confirmed that the lines tripped around 12:21 PM, causing a loss of power on all 33KV feeders. He stated that engineers from the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) are working to resolve the issue.
