The call was made during a high-level sensitisation forum organised by the TCN in Kaduna to discuss the growing threats of vandalism and illegal construction on transmission corridors with community members.

The General Manager of the Kaduna Region, Nasir Mansur Fada, “We are appealing to the public stay away from high-voltage lines. These structures are not just dangerous they’re critical to our nation’s electricity”.

He revealed that despite ongoing efforts to expand and upgrade transmission infrastructure, rampant vandalism and illegal encroachments are sabotaging progress.

The TCN urged continued cooperation from communities and security agencies to protect the nation’s power infrastructure from further damage and to ensure a reliable electricity supply across the country.
