Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Gombe State experienced a blackout following the collapse of the Transmission Company of Nigeria\u2019s 330 kV transmission line.<\/p>\n

The outage, which lasted for about 10 hours, was attributed to a heavy rainstorm and windstorm that caused the collapse of tower number 290 in the Shingen Abba Area of Tirwun Village, Bauchi Local Government Area.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued by the Head of Corporate Communications for Jos Electricity Distribution Company Plc, Dr. Friday Adakole, on Monday, the company explained that the collapse of the transmission line has affected the entire state, including the Ashaka Cement Plant.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, TCN has already commenced efforts to reconstruct the collapsed tower to restore normal power supply to the residents of Gombe State.<\/p>\n

The statement read in part, \u201cThe unfortunate incident has affected the entire Gombe State including Ashaka Cement Plant.<\/p>\n

\u201cTCN is already working assiduously towards reconstructing the collapsed tower in order to restore normal supply to the good people of Gombe State.<\/p>\n

\u201cCustomers are therefore requested to kindly bear with the company as the management is endeavouring to solve the problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cPower would be restored as soon as the problem is resolved.\u201d<\/p>\n
