The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has restored electricity transmission through the Aba–Itu 132kV transmission line after a fault disrupted supply for more than 30 hours, affecting parts of Akwa Ibom State.
The company said the line was successfully restored at 7:53 p.m. on Sunday, November 8, 2026, following repair work by its maintenance team.
According to reports citing TCN, the disruption began at approximately 1:02 p.m. on Saturday, November 7, after a fault developed on the transmission line.
TCN maintenance personnel subsequently conducted patrols along the line and carried out the necessary corrective work to resolve the problem and restore bulk electricity transmission.
With the line back in operation, the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHEDC) can now resume receiving electricity for distribution to customers in Uyo, Eket, Ekim and Itu.
The outage had left affected customers without normal electricity supply while engineers worked to identify and rectify the fault.
TCN assured electricity consumers of its continued commitment to efficient bulk power transmission and the maintenance of its infrastructure.
The restoration is expected to ease the disruption experienced by households, businesses and other electricity consumers in the affected communities.
