The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has commenced work to remount three collapsed towers along the 330kV Kainji-Birnin Kebbi transmission line on Wednesday, May 7, 2025.

The collapse was caused by a heavy wind that felled the towers at approximately 5:35 pm.

To remount the towers, TCN mobilized three separate contractors to the site, each assigned to handle the reconstruction of one tower with aims to accelerate the restoration process and minimize downtime on the line, according to the General Manager Public Relations of TCN, Ndidi Mbah in a statement.

In the meantime, she said efforts had been made to cushion the impact of the disruption in bulk power supply to Kaduna DisCo, which affects some of its customers.

Sokoto and Birnin Kebbi are currently receiving between 6 MW and 7 MW of bulk electricity from the Mando Transmission substation via the 132kV
Mando-Zaria-Funtua-Gusau-Talata Mafara-Sokoto-Birnin Kebbi line.

TCN expressed appreciation for the patience and understanding of the affected communities as contractors work assiduously with the supervising engineers to rebuild the towers and restring the 330kV transmission line.

It regretted the inconvenience caused by the tower collapse, adding that it is committed to restoring full supply as quickly as possible.
