Finally, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has restored the vandalised Jos-Gombe 330kV Single Circuit Transmission line supplying bulk power to North East. .

Bulk supply was restored through the line, yesterday, 4th of June, 2024, at about 9:37 pm.

Confirming the development on Wednesday in a statement signed by its Spokesperson, Ndidi Mbah, TCN disclosed that “the line now wheels normal load allocation from the National Control Center, NCC, to transmission substations in the North East and to distribution load centers for Kano and Jos DisCos to offtake and distribute to its customers in the North East.”

Appreciating everyone who played a role in the restoration, the transmission company said, “We are thankful of every assistance rendered by the governors in the North East and patience displayed by all the affected electricity consumers.

“Our gratitude also goes to the security operatives who always escorted our contractor and staff to the sites of the incidents as well as the contractor and TCN engineers who quickly mobilized to site at a very short notice.

“TCN is by this release, appealing to residents in communities hosting or close to power installations to be vigilant, and to report any act or suspicion of vandalism to security operatives.

“This would help us quickly arrest the situation, so as to preserve our power transmission towers and lines nationwide”, Ndidi Mbah said.
