The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) announced yesterday that it has completed the rehabilitation and re-stringing of the four vandalized towers along the Jos-Gombe 330kV transmission line, which transmits bulk power to substations in the Northeast region of the country.
According to Ndidi Mbah, General Manager, Public Affairs, TCN, the re-stringing of conductors was completed on Monday, June 3, 2024, and contractors have reconnected the jumper on tower 282, making it ready for the transmission of bulk electricity.
The TCN had initially promised to complete the repairs and restore supply by May 27, 2024; however, the collapse of the fourth tower during the re-stringing process delayed the completion. Despite this setback, the four towers have since been completed, and the line is now ready for bulk power transmission.
TCN appreciates the patience and support of the governors and people in the North Eastern part of the nation during the period of the tower reconstruction work.
