The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) says it has
restored full power supply through the Gombe-Damaturu- Maiduguri 330 Kilo
Volt (KV) transmission line.
The Company’s General Manager, Public Affairs, Mrs
Ndidi Mbah, said this in a statement in Abuja on Friday.
Mbah said that power supply had been fully restored on
Gombe – Damaturu line at about 7:25 pm, on Oct 30th, and on the
Damaturu – Maiduguri (Molai) part of the line on Oct 31, about 2:01 pm.
She recalled that tower 372, along the 330kV
transmission line, was vandalised on Sept 22, adding that the vandalised tower
was rebuilt, and the stringing of the line was completed on Oct 23
at about 12:48p.m
”TCN was, however, unable to immediately restore bulk
power supply through the line due to the vandalism of the Ugwuaji-Apir
transmission line.
”Power supply has, however, been fully restored along
the Gombe – Damaturu – Maiduguri 330kV transmission line.
”TCN is again calling on the public to join in the
fight against power installation vandalism to safeguard the future of
electricity in Nigeria,”she said.
Mbah appealed to Nigerians to report suspicious
activities around transmission installations to security operatives or TCN
offices nationwide.
