26 Mar TCN restores power to Maiduguri after 2 months
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) said bulk power has been restored to Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, and its environs as at Wednesday.
This is nearly two months after insurgents attacked the 330 kilovolts (kV) Damaturu to Maiduguri transmission line on January 26, 2021, cutting off the capital from the national power grid.
TCN restored the power using temporary 33kV high tension poles as a by-pass transmission line while its engineers continue to reconstruct the three vandalised towers.
According to a statement by the TCN spokesperson, Mrs Ndidi Mbah, the Managing Director/CEO of TCN, Sule Abdulaziz, said despite the security challenges TCN engineers completed the temporary transmission line and presently, work is l ongoing on the towers.
Engr. Abdulaziz was grateful to Governor Babagana Zulum for his assistance so far, and commended the team of TCN engineers.
