The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced the successful completion of repairs and re-stringing work on four transmission towers along the Jos–Gombe 330kV transmission line, which were vandalised on April 22, 2024.

The completion of the repairs has restored bulk power supply to substations in the Northeast region of the country.

According to Ndidi Mbah, the General Manager of Public Affairs at TCN, in a statement on Tuesday the company promptly mobilized contractors and supervising engineers to the site of the incident upon discovering the vandalized towers.

The initial target for completing the repairs and restoring supply was set for May 27, 2024. However, the collapse of a fourth tower during the re-stringing process led to a slight delay in the completion of the project.

The re-stringing of conductors was completed on June 3, 2024, and contractors have successfully reconnected the jumper on tower 282, making the transmission line ready for the transmission of bulk electricity.

The restoration of power supply is expected to bring relief to the residents and businesses in the Northeast, who have been grappling with power outages since the vandalism incident.

TCN has expressed gratitude to the governors and people of the North Eastern states for their patience and support throughout the period of the tower reconstruction work.

The company’s swift response to the crisis and its determination to restore power supply showcases its commitment to providing reliable electricity transmission services across the country.
