Mr Adebayo Adelabu, Minister of Power has promised that in five days, electricity would be restored to the 17 northern states suffering power failure on account of vandalisation of the Shiroro-Kaduna transmission line.
Adelabu,who spoke on Monday while briefing State House correspondents after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu, said the vandalized transmission line would be repaired between three to five days.
The president,he said,had already instructed the National Security Adviser, NSA and security chiefs to provide the required security for the people that will fix the demolished line.
He promised that with the provision of full security, the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN staff will have the confidence, together with the contractors, to go to the field and fix the problem.
He added:“I’m appealing to our northern brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers, to bear with us that very soon, light will be restored, and we must all collectively protect our national grid to avoid further vandalisation”
