The Transmission Company of Nigeria has successfully restored electricity supply to parts of Kaduna and Niger states in Northern Nigeria. This development follows the repair of the Shiroro-Mando 330-kilovolt line, which was completed on Tuesday, December 2, 2025. According to Ndidi Mbah, the spokesperson for the Transmission Company of Nigeria, the restoration of bulk power transmission on the Shiroroā€“Mando 330kV Line II was achieved at 11:56am on Tuesday.
The repair work was necessitated by a trip on the Shiroro-Mando line on Friday, November 28th, 2025, which resulted in a loss of electricity supply to the region. The restoration process was delayed due to security challenges along the line route, which temporarily restricted safe access to the fault site. Despite these challenges, the Transmission Company of Nigeria was able to complete the repairs and restore power supply to the affected areas.
In related news, parts of Abuja, the nation’s capital, have been experiencing electricity outages due to maintenance work at the Katampe Transmission Substation. The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company had announced that bulk electricity supply would be disrupted on Monday and Tuesday, but as of the latest reports, parts of the city remain without power. The ongoing maintenance work is a routine exercise aimed at ensuring the reliability and efficiency of the power supply system.
The restoration of electricity supply to Kaduna and Niger states is a significant development, as it will help to alleviate the hardships faced by residents and businesses in the region. The Transmission Company of Nigeria’s efforts to repair the damaged line and restore power supply demonstrate the company’s commitment to providing reliable electricity services to its customers. As the company continues to work on maintaining and upgrading the power infrastructure, it is expected that the frequency and duration of power outages will be reduced, leading to improved economic and social activities in the region.
