TCN says it has fully restored power through the Gombe-Damaturu-Maiduguri 330 kilovolt (kV) transmission line.
The Transmission Company of Nigeria says it has fully restored power through the Gombe-Damaturu-Maiduguri 330 kilovolt transmission line.
The commission said vandals cut off all four tower footing, resulting in the collapse of tower 372 along the Gombe-Damaturu-Maiduguri section, affecting power supply to the whole of Damaturu, Yobe state and up to Maiduguri, Borno state.TCN said the vandalised tower has been rebuilt, and the stringing of the line was completed on October 23.
“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 again called on the public to join efforts against the vandalism of power installations to secure the future of Nigeria’s electricity supply.
