The Abuja Electricity Distribution Plc (AEDC) has announced the resolution of the dispute surrounding the invasion and encroachment on the C2 Maitama Substation, paving the way for the restoration of electricity supply to Maitama and neighbouring communities.

In a statement signed by the Management of Abuja Electricity Distribution Plc (AEDC), on Tuesday , the utility company said the resolution followed sustained engagements with stakeholders and the intervention of government officials.

The company disclosed that the breakthrough has enabled its technical teams to commence repairs, reinstatement and restoration of the damaged electricity infrastructure at the substation.
