some parts of Rivers and Bayelsa states will experience months of blackout after vandals destroyed thirteen Transmission Company of Nigeria’s towers along the Ahoada-Yenagoa 132kV Double Circuits.
General Manager of Public Affairs, Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), NDIDI MBAH, disclosed this in a statement.
The TCN urged the governments of Rivers and Bayelsa states to assist it in addressing the ongoing vandalism of its installations, which has become increasingly alarming and overwhelming.
This comes after vandals had earlier destroyed the same Ahoada-Yenagoa transmission line. Meanwhile, the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHED) has explained that the power outage currently experienced on Itu, Uyo, Eket, and Ekim 132KV transmission stations in Akwa Ibom State is due to an earth fault.
