The assurance was given to Nigerians by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).

According to TCN, efforts are being made to ensure the full recovery of the national grid.

The general manager of TCN, Ndidi Mbah in a statement said the recovery process commenced swiftly and has reached an advanced stage.

She said the process of recovery started with the Azura Power Station providing the necessary blackstart.

According to Mbah, as at 10.24 am on Tuesday, the recovery process was already in its advance level despite a short challenge which caused a minor setback.

Her words, “Notwithstanding the setback, TCN continued its recovery efforts, achieving significant progress.

“Bulk power availability has been restored to approximately 90 per cent of its substations nationwide, with supply reinstated to the Abuja axis and other major distribution load centres,” Mbah said.

She also noted that the brief disturbance, however, did not affect the Ibom Gas generating station.

Mbah noted that the station has continued to supply power to areas in the South Southern part of the country.

These areas, according to the TCN GM include Eket, Ekim, Uyo, and Itu 132 kilovolt transmission substations.
