Adelabu Promises To Restore Electricity To North Within 5 Days
Mr Adebayo Adelabu, Minister of Power has promised to restore electricity to the 17 northern states suffering blackout due vandalisation of the Shiroro-Kaduna transmission line.
The minister gave the assurance on Monday while speaking with State House correspondents after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu.
According to him, the vandalized transmission line would be repaired “within three to five days”.
Adelabu also said that the President Tinubu 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 further assured 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 it.
“So, I’m just 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,” Adelabu added.
