Strike: No plans to shut national grid — TCN

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) says the national grid is intact and supplying electricity to distribution load centres across the country, following a nationwide strike embarked upon by Organised Labour.

This was made known in a statement issued by the TCN General Manager Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, on Tuesday, November 14, 2023.

Mbah said TCN did not release any statement through her office that there would be a national blackout as claimed in some quarters.

She stated: ”The statement is mischievous and baseless as TCN, through the Public Affairs Head, did not make such.

”We hereby note that the nation’s grid is intact and supplying bulk electricity to distribution load centers nationwide.

”As at when issuing this statement, the TCN National Control Centre Osogbo which controls bulk power transmission nationwide, is actively operational.

”We would appreciate that reports are made with a sense of responsibility not just to cause panic.”
