Transcorp Hilton Abuja has moved to clear the air over reports of water supply issues at the facility, explaining that the situation was a short-lived disruption traced to external maintenance work.
The hotel said the interruption occurred as a result of emergency works carried out by the Federal Capital Territory Water Board, which commenced on April 14, 2026. Management noted that the disruption lasted for just one day, during which contingency arrangements were activated to ensure guests continued to have access to water while normal services were sustained across the hotel.
According to a press statement signed by the General Manager, Martin Zarybnicky, the internal response ensured that guest comfort was not significantly affected, with operations across rooms, restaurants and other service areas running without interruption.
The management further clarified that water supply was fully restored on April 15, 2026, the day after the maintenance began, and has remained stable since then. It stressed that the hotel has continued to operate normally, with all facilities functioning as expected.
The hotel also addressed reports circulating on social media suggesting a prolonged shortage, describing them as inaccurate and not reflective of the actual situation within the premises. It maintained that there has been no extended disruption beyond the one-day maintenance window.
Transcorp Hilton Abuja said it considered it necessary to provide clarity in order to reassure guests, partners and the wider public, noting that its operations have remained steady in the days following the maintenance work.
