The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has appealed to the North East Governors’ Forum (NEGF) to be patient with it, saying it expects power supply to be restored in the affected areas of the region on May 27.
General Manager, Public Affairs, TCN, Ndidi Mbah, in a statement Tuesday, said the TCN team is actively rebuilding the four towers that were destroyed by vandals in the region.
The statement reads in part: “The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) wishes to assure the North East Governors’ Forum (NEGF) that we are doing everything possible in our power to ensure the restoration of power supply to the North East axis of the country as earlier indicated in our press release of May 10.
“Our team has been tirelessly working to rebuild the four towers destroyed by vandals, and we will not rest until power is restored to all the affected areas. We appeal for a little more patience, as work is truly advancing.
“To expedite the work, we have insisted that the contractor put in place onsite machines that will help increase the fabrication processes of tower members which is on-going.
“We expect power supply to be restored by May 27, through the new 330kV transmission line, allowing Yola and Jos Distribution Companies to off take and distribute optimally from TCN substations,” the circular reads in part.”
