The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced the successful restoration of bulk power supply in seven northern states through the 330kV Ugwuaji-Apir transmission line 1, following extensive repairs on a vandalised section.

TCN’s General Manager Public Affairs, Mrs Ndidi Mbah, who disclosed this in a statement, said that the restoration of the line, at about 4:56 pm on the 30th of October 2024, has enabled the resumption of bulk power transmission to key states, including Lafia, Makurdi, Jos, Kaduna, Kano, Bauchi, and Gombe.

Mrs Mbah stated that as TCN continues its restoration efforts, the engineering team is preparing to commence work on the second 330kV transmission line, emphasising that all necessary materials for these repairs are on site, with work expected to begin shortly after securing the area to ensure the safety of personnel.
