After 31 Days Blackout, TCN Restores Power Supply To Maiduguri, Gombe

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) on Friday night said it has restored full power supply to the Gombe-Damaturu- Maiduguri 330kV transmission line.

THE WHISTLER recalls that tower 372, along the 330kV transmission line, was vandalised on September 22, 2024.

TCN in a statement issued in Abuja by its General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, disclosed that the power supply was fully restored on the Gombe – Damaturu line at about 7:25 pm, on the 30th, and the Damaturu – Maiduguri (Molai) part of the line, supply was restored yesterday, October 31, 2024, around 2:01 pm.

“The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has restored full power supply through the Gombe-Damaturu- Maiduguri 330kV transmission line.

“Power supply was fully restored on Gombe – Damaturu line at about 7:25 pm on the 30th, and the Damaturu – Maiduguri (Molai) part of the line, supply was restored yesterday, October 31, 2024, around 2:01 pm.

“Recall that tower 372, along the 330kV transmission line, was vandalised on September 22, 2024. The vandalized tower was rebuilt, and the stringing of the line was completed on the 23rd of October 2024, at about 12:48 pm. TCN was, however, unable to immediately restore bulk power supply through the line due to the vandalism of the Ugwuaji-Apir transmission line.

“Power supply has, however, been fully restored along the Gombe – Damaturu – Maiduguri 330kV transmission line.

“TCN is again calling on the public to join in the fight against power installation vandalism to safeguard the future of electricity in Nigeria.

“Please report suspicious activities around transmission installations to security operatives or TCN offices nationwide”, TCN stated.
