The same thing applied to many other areas in the city, as residents saw the restoration of electricity in their houses and shops.
The power company is yet to released a statement, but had earlier said it was working on repairing the supply lines to the city, which houses over three million people.
The power outage had caused severe hardship to the residents of Maiduguri, as businesses that depend on electricity went down, while cost of of chilled drinks skyrocketed.
Infrastructure are on of the major targets of Boko haram group. They had blow up telecommunications mast and power lines in the North east.
Schools, roads and worship centre were also areas of target by the terrorists.
