Power outages in the Northeast region persist as the Transmission Company of Nigeria says its tower collapsed and others were vandalized. Ndidi Mbah, the general manager of public affairs at TCN , disclosed this in a statement on Monday. According to her, this new incident occurred while TCN was fixing the region's four vandalized towers. Her statement comes amid the company's 27th May deadline to restore electricity supply in the region.
'It is unfortunate that while TCN is working on reconstructing and restringing the four vandalized towers, three towers along the Biu – Danbua 132kV transmission line were also vandalized with 16 spans of conductors stolen. 'The towers that have all collapsed include towers T1690, T1691 and T1692. TCN has mobilized a contractor to commence their reconstruction. The TCN patrol team made this discovery last Friday.
