The Transmission Company of Nigeria says its tower along the Gombe–Damaturu line has been vandalised, resulting in partial disruption of the bulk power supply to Maiduguri, Borno  and Damaturu, Yobe and  environs.


TCN however assures that the bulk supply is  being maintained through the Maiduguri Emergency Power Plant, which currently feeds the Yola Electricity Distribution Company.


For onward distribution to consumers, the supply will be through major 33kV feeders, including Beneshiek, Damasak, Bama, University Campus, Maiduguri Town, Monguno, and others.


Also Damaturu and its environs will be supplied from the Potiskum Substation for the time being.


TCN says its team of Engineers has already been mobilised to site,  working to replace the damaged tower and restore normal transmission.


TCN appeals to the public to protect national assets and report any suspicious activities to the security agencies or the nearest TCN office.
