Residents and electricity consumers in parts of Sagamu, Ogun State, are expected to experience power interruptions as the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN begins its annual preventive maintenance of two power transformers at the Sagamu Transmission Substation.
The maintenance exercise, which commenced on Thursday, September 3, 2026, is being carried out on the T1 and T2 30MVA, 132/33kV power transformers at the substation.
According to the TCN, the exercise will continue on Friday, September 4, with the maintenance work scheduled to run for seven hours each day, between 10am and 5pm.

The company said the exercise was necessary to enable its maintenance crew to conduct routine checks on the transformers and ensure optimal performance and reliability.
Consequently, the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company will be unable to off-take electricity from the T1 transformer during the maintenance period, affecting customers in REAL and Sagamu.
TCN added that customers supplied through the T2 transformer would also be affected on Friday.
It listed the affected customers as CEPLASS, NNPC/Ogijo, Metafrique and Babcock.
The transmission company apologised to electricity consumers in the affected areas for the inconvenience caused by the maintenance exercise.
The TCN management said the intervention was aimed at ensuring the reliability and sustained performance of the transformers serving electricity consumers in the affected areas.
