Power has been restored to Kaduna State on Wednesday after three days of blackout occasioned by the warning strike of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in the state.
Prior to the five-day warning strike directed by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to commence from midnight of Sunday in Kaduna, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) had knocked off all the 33KV lines in Kaduna State in compliance with the directive.
The total blackout occurred from midnight on Saturday following an earlier warning by the National Union of Electricity Employees that it had been directed by the NLC to join the warning strike.
POWER SUPPLY RESTORATION IN KADUNA
TCN has restored power supply on all its 33kV feeders that KAEDCO had indicated readiness to pick supply from.
The 33kV feeders include: Mogadishu, Abakwa, Naf base, Ungwa Dosa, Turunku, AREWA, Airport, Kinkinau, Narayi and Independence feeders.
The Jaji and Rigasa feeders have also been energized while Olam, PAN and UNTL are about to be energized.
The Waterworks feeder was energized but tripped on fault on the side of KAEDCO.
TCN will continue to gradually restore supply on the other feeders as soon as KAEDCO indicates readiness to take supply.
Power Supply Restored To Kaduna State.
Dear Esteemed Customers,
We are happy to report that power supply has been restored to many parts of Kaduna State after the suspension of the strike action by the Nigerian Labour Congress this evening.
As at 10:30 pm, we were able to pick load on most of our 11KV feeders hence many parts of the metropolis including Zaria and environs have had their supply restored. This was possible after restoration of the 33KV feeders by the Transmission Company of Nigeria.
We once again thank all our esteemed customers and other stakeholders for bearing with us in the past four days. We also appreciate the efforts of the TCN team for supporting us in restoring supply back.
