The management of Yola Electricity Distribution Company (YEDC) says contractors of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) will carry out maintenance work as part of upgrade efforts on the power line along its 276 km route.
YEDC said this in a statement issued in Yola, Adamawa State.
The statement disclosed that the planned outage will occur on the Jos–Bauchi–Gombe 330kV line from April 9 to May 22, 2026.
YEDC added that during the maintenance work, customers in Adamawa, Taraba, and Yobe States may experience daytime outages for at least four days each week between 09:00 and 18:00 hours.
The power distribution company, while appreciating customers for their patience, urged them to remain vigilant and safeguard transformers and other electrical assets within their communities to prevent vandalism.
DAILY POST reports that the power disruptions will come at a difficult time for residents of Yola, who are currently experiencing particularly high temperatures.
March to May each year is the hottest period in sun-soaked Yola, when residents endure intense sunlight and stifling heat, conditions made harsher by the absence of air conditioning and refrigeration to provide relief or cool drinking water.
