TCN Begins Rehabilitation of Vandalized Transmission Towers
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced the commencement of rehabilitation works on four vandalized towers, identified as T50, T51, T52, and T53, along the Afam/IPP/Elelenwo 132kV Double Circuit Transmission Line. These towers were detected to be compromised on August 6, 2026, when TCN linemen found that critical bracing members had been removed, affecting their structural integrity.
In response, TCN mobilized a contractor for repairs. A formal handover ceremony took place on September 8, 2026, conducted by the Port Harcourt Transmission Region.
Engr. Azuh Lucky, representing TCN Management, emphasized the importance of community involvement in protecting transmission infrastructure and called on residents of Elelenwo, their traditional rulers, and the Local Government Chairman to assist in combating vandalism. He highlighted the risks posed by such acts to reliable electricity transmission and stressed the need for community cooperation to safeguard the rehabilitated infrastructure.
