TCN Restores Power Supply To Maiduguri
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has restored power supply to Maiduguri, capital of Borno and its environs.
General Manager Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, disclosed this in a statement to reporters in Abuja.
She explained the bulk power supply is being transmitted through a diversion using 33 kilovolts high tension poles as a by-pass transmission line, constructed by TCN engineers to enable supply to Maiduguri, while effort is ongoing to reconstruct three vandalised transmission towers along 330kV Damaturu – Maiduguri line
Her statement recalled that on 26th of January, 2021, three (3No) towers in Jakana area of Maiduguri were vandalised, causing power outage in Maiduguri and environs.
She said due to the enormity of the damage, and time it would take to reconstruct the towers, TCN Management tasked its engineers to urgently construct a temporary by-pass so that power is restored to the affected areas in the shortest possible time.
