The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has raised concerns over increasing vandalism of power transmission infrastructure in parts of Niger State, warning that the trend poses serious economic, safety and electricity supply challenges.
Speaking during a community engagement visit to Lambata in Gurara Local Government Area yesterday, the General Manager, Transmission, Abuja Region, Engr. Musa Shuaibu, said repeated attacks on transmission facilities had become a major concern.
According to him, vandalism, previously uncommon in the area, has resulted in significant financial losses and disruption to power supply.
