The Transmission Company of Nigeria says it is stepping up repairs to a collapsed 330kV electricity tower in Kebbi State. The failure disrupted power transmission to Kebbi and Sokoto, though the supplied report gives no timetable for completing the repair or restoring normal supply.

The Transmission Company of Nigeria is intensifying repairs to a collapsed 330kV power tower in Kebbi State, according to Punch Nigeria. The damaged tower disrupted electricity transmission to Kebbi and Sokoto states. The report describes the repair effort as ongoing but does not state when the tower collapsed.

It also gives no estimate for when work will be completed or when electricity supply to the affected areas will return to normal. The incident has therefore left the transmission link serving the two states disrupted while TCN works on the damaged infrastructure. Further operational details were not included in the supplied material.
