The Transmission Company of Nigeria has restored electricity supply to parts of Kaduna and Niger states in northern Nigeria after completing repairs on the Shiroro‑Mando 330‑kilovolt line on Tuesday, 2 December 2025. According to Ndidi Mbah, the company’s spokesperson, bulk power transmission on the Shiroro‑Mando 330 kV Line II was restored at 11:56 a.m. on that day. The repair was required after a trip on the line on Friday, 28 November 2025, caused a loss of electricity to the region. Security challenges along the route had temporarily restricted safe access to the fault site, delaying the restoration work, but the company ultimately completed the repairs and re‑energized the affected areas.
In related news, parts of Abuja, the nation’s capital, are experiencing electricity outages due to maintenance at the Katampe Transmission Substation. The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company announced that bulk supply would be disrupted on Monday and Tuesday; however, recent reports indicate that some parts of the city remain without power. The maintenance is a routine exercise intended to ensure the reliability and efficiency of the power system.
The restoration of electricity to Kaduna and Niger states is a significant development, as it will alleviate hardships for residents and businesses. The Transmission Company of Nigeria’s swift repair of the damaged line demonstrates its commitment to providing reliable electricity services. Continued maintenance and upgrades of the power infrastructure are expected to reduce the frequency and duration of outages, thereby supporting improved economic and social activities in the region.
