The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has successfully restored bulk power supply through its 330kV Ugwuaji-Apir transmission line one, to seven states in the north, including Kaduna and Kano.
A statement issued on Wednesday night, by its General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, said the restoration of power supply follows the completion of repairs on the vandalised section of the line.
With the restoration of the line, the Apir-Lafia transmission line two is now operational with electricity supply restored to Lafia, Makurdi, Jos, Kaduna, Kano, Bauchi and Gombe States.
As restoration efforts continue, with the engineering team preparing to commence work on the second 330kV transmission line, Mbah said all necessary materials for the repairs are on hand, and work will begin as soon as the site is secured for the safety of its personnel to the affected sections of the vandalised 330kV transmission line two.
TCN notes that teams of linesmen will re-patrol the 330kV line two to ensure that no other sections are impacted as the repair works progress.
