When will the Electricity be restored in Northern Nigeria?


It has been 10 days in a row at least nine states in northern Nigeria have been in the dark as a result of the lack of electricity, a situation that has thrown life and economic affairs into a volatile environment.

Hospitals and factories and community homes are all in a situation, where the effects of fire in hospitals are causing the public to lose their lives, according to reports, and housing is facing a problem of drinking water.

The electric current in the northern hemisphere comes three days after the entire country suffered three times in the two days due to the damage to the main power line, the national grid.

It is a situation that has led the northern part of the country to seek three answers: when will the fire be repaired? What caused the problem? What is the solution to see that the problem is not restored?

We have reviewed, and answers to the following questions:

When will it be repaired?

TCN said its officials are trying to solve the problem, where corporate officials are seen to be making repairs.

But the amendment is not of the 330kV lent line in Ugwaji-Apir between Shiroro to Kaduna as the BBC source at TCN testified.

“It’s not really fixed because there is a security problem there. We think the terrorists have defeated the fire line by bombing him, and you will find it difficult to get there to be repaired."

Now the amendment is of the line that went from Benue to Jos which if repaired would provide a fire-fighting power to some northern states. But what the public should know is whether this line is fixed then there will be no fire as before as long as that of the Shiroro line is not fixed which gives the north a lot of fire. .

The Benue-Jos line provides one-quarter of the electricity needed by the north. If it is fixed it is not necessary for homes to get the electricity they need.

Because companies that are now on the fire are under pressure because they have no electricity to make money. So as soon as they get the fire they will focus more on the industry that is where they can make money." Our source said at TCN.

What caused the power interruption?

The power distribution company in Nigeria is Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, linked the lack of electricity and fuel and one of the two rows of 330kV lava in Uwaji-Apir between Shiroro to Kaduna.

Two of them took fire from the main power line of the national grid where they sucked the states of Kano, Katsina, Jigawa and Kaduna and Bauchi and Gombe and some additional northeast and northern states.

Ali Bukar TCN's trade union official told the BBC that "the terrorists were allegedly bombed in one of the fire lines. And even before that one line of Benue-Jos was damaged."

A way out

Experts and government officials who discussed BBC Hausa's Friday's Raising Program said it was the only way to ensure that the northern hemisphere had no longer faced such fire interruptions. in the future.

Experts including Ali Carrier at TCN and Engineering Sani Bala, a member of the House of Representatives from Kano agreed that state governments must provide power stations or to satisfy the demands of state manufacturers.
