A statement by the Kaduna DisCo Head of Corporate Communications, Abdulazeez Abdullahi, confirmed the development on Sunday, explaining that the power supply would be restored as soon as DisCo received bulk supply at load centres across its franchise.

“The Management of Kaduna Electric wishes to inform its esteemed customers that it has lost bulk power supply hence the outage being experienced currently in Kaduna, Sokoto, Zamfara and Kebbi states. Power supply shall be restored to our customers as soon as we receive same at load centres across our franchise. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience,” the statement read.
