The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced that it did not approve the proposed two-month power outage in Ondo and Ekiti states.
Ndidi Mbah, the TCN’s General Manager of Public Affairs, made this statement on Monday in response to reports of an outage for maintenance on the Osogbo/Akure-Ado-Ekiti 132 kilovolt line.
