The Transmission Company of Nigeria has confirmed the restoration of power to parts of the North, precisely Damaturu in Yobe and Maiduguri in Borno State.
This was disclosed in a statement by the company’s General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, on Friday.
The restoration of power after several days of a blackout followed repair of the 330kV Gombe-Damaturu- Maiduguri transmission line.
It further explained that electricity was restored to the Gombe – Damaturu line about 7:25 pm, on Wednesday, October 30.
While partial supply was experienced on the Damaturu – Maiduguri (Molai) on Thursday, October 31, 2024, around 2:01pm.
Recall that tower 372, along the 330kV transmission line, was vandalised on September 22, 2024.
The company further sought the help of Nigerians to stop vandalism of electricity infrastructure for the greater economic good.
