Restoration Efforts Underway: TCN Addresses Collapsed Transmission Towers
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has commenced reconstruction work on three transmission towers that collapsed along the 330kV Kainji–Birnin Kebbi transmission line. According to a statement issued on Saturday by Ndidi Mbah, General Manager, Public Affairs, TCN said it has mobilised three separate contractors to the site, and each has been assigned to rebuild one of the fallen towers. Consequently, the collapse has impacted the bulk electricity supply to the Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company, leading to supply disruptions across multiple communities, especially in Sokoto and Birnin Kebbi.
