Aba, Nigeria — APL Electric Company has announced an unexpected temporary power outage affecting customers within the Aba Ring-Fenced Area. The outage results from a disruption in gas supply due to an emergency shutdown of the Trans Niger Pipeline, the primary channel used by APL’s gas supplier for fuel delivery.
In a statement released on October 27, 2024, APL highlighted that the shutdown was due to unforeseen circumstances requiring immediate repairs on the pipeline. This incident falls under a force majeure situation, beyond the control of both APL and its gas supplier. The company’s management reassured customers that efforts are underway to resolve the issue promptly, with an estimated repair timeline of less than 24 hours.
The statement emphasized APL’s commitment to providing reliable and uninterrupted power, noting recent achievements made in collaboration with a new gas supplier. Since February of this year, APL has been working towards consistent power supply, with the new supplier enabling several weeks of uninterrupted electricity across the Aba area. The milestone marked a turning point in delivering stable power, a goal APL pledged to maintain despite the current setback.
While the situation is addressed, APL encourages residents to remain vigilant and safeguard electrical infrastructure in their areas. The company has assured customers of timely updates and has expressed its commitment to restoring normal service as swiftly as possible.
“We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause,” the statement concluded, thanking customers for their understanding and support.
