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

Making this known via a press release is the General Manager Public Affairs Division of TCN, Ndidi Mbah on Friday, November 1, 2024 in Abuja.

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

The GM Public Affairs of TCN further stated that, "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." 

In conclusion, the TCN appealed that Nigerians should "Please report suspicious activities around transmission installations to security operatives or TCN offices nationwide."
