The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced the restoration of full power supply through the Gombe-Damaturu-Maiduguri 330kV transmission line.
It said that power supply was fully restored on the Gombe-Damaturu line about 7:25p.m. on October 30, and on the Damaturu-Maiduguri (Molai) part of the line on October 31, 2024, around 2:01p.m.
A statement in Abuja by TCN’s General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, recalled that tower 372, along the 330kV transmission line, was vandalised on September 22, 2024.
The vandalised tower, it said, was rebuilt, and the stringing of the line was completed on October 23 at about 12:48p.m.
TCN said it 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.
“Please report suspicious activities around transmission installations to security operatives or TCN offices nationwide,” it stated.
