WorldStage Newsonline– The Managing Director, Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Mr Sule Abdulaziz has appealed to host communities to assist in the fight against vandalism of the nation’s assets.
According to a statement by Mrs Ndidi Mbah, General Manager (Public Affairs) TCN Abdulaziz, made the appeal when he led the management team of the company on an on-the-spot assessment of the vandalised Tower No. 104, along Odukpani/Ikot Ekpene 330 Kilo Volt (KV) transmission line.
The vandalised tower caused a sudden loss of 400MW from the grid, causing its collapse on April 8.
The transmission line is located at Oku Iboku Community, Itu Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom.
Abdulaziz urged the communities to report suspicious activities around its operations to TCN offices or to security operatives and confirmed that “The grid has since been restored.”
