The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced that the rehabilitation and restringing of the four vandalized towers along the Jos–Gombe 330kV transmission line supplying bulk power to substations in the Northeast have been completed.
The restringing of conductors was completed yesterday 3rd June, 2024, and contractors have reconnected the jumper on tower 282, making it ready for the transmission of bulk electricity, the transmission company said.
ABUJA BUSINESS REPORTS NEWSPAPER & MAGAZINE recalls that when the vandalized towers were discovered on April 22, 2024, TCN promptly mobilised contractors as well as TCN supervising engineers to the site of the incident to immediately commence repairs.
According to a statement issued on Tuesday and signed by the General Manager, Public Affairs, of the transmission company, Ndidi Mbah, “initially, TCN had promised to complete the repairs and restore supply by May 27, 2024.
“However, the collapse of the fourth tower during the re-stringing process delayed the completion. The four towers have since been completed, and the line is now ready for bulk power transmission.
“TCN appreciates the patience and support of the governors and people in the North Eastern part of the nation during the period of the tower reconstruction work”, she said.
