TCN Starts Rehabilitation of Vandalized Transmission Towers
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has initiated rehabilitation works on four vandalized towers (T50, T51, T52, and T53) along the Afam/IPP/Elelenwo 132kV Double Circuit Transmission Line. The vandalism was discovered on August 6, 2026, by TCN linedmen, who found that critical bracing members had been removed, compromising the structural integrity of the towers.
In response, TCN mobilized a contractor for repairs and held a formal handover ceremony on September 8, 2026, conducted by the Port Harcourt Transmission Region. Engr. Azuh Lucky, representing TCN Management, stressed the importance of community involvement in safeguarding transmission infrastructure and called on residents of Elelenwo, traditional rulers, and the Local Government Chairman to assist in combating vandalism.
TCN emphasized that community awareness and cooperation are essential for preventing further vandalism and ensuring reliable power transmission along the corridor.
