The Yola Electricity Distribution Company (YEDC) has said there will be a planned power outage in Maiduguri and nearby areas to allow maintenance work at the Maiduguri Emergency Power Plant (MEPP).
In a statement released on Monday, the company said the outage will last from Tuesday, November 4, to Friday, November 7, 2025 and power will be cut daily between 5:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
YEDC explained that the shutdown will allow the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to conduct the third semi-annual inspection of the gas turbine as part of the ongoing Long-Term Service Agreement (LTSA).
“During this period, Maiduguri and its surrounding areas will be out of supply,” the statement said.
The company appealed to customers for understanding, saying, that ” We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to ensure reliable and improved service delivery.”*
