AFTER a 10-day blackout in various states across the Northern part of the country, the Transmission Company of Nigeria has confirmed the restoration of electricity.

A statement by Ndidi Mbah, TCN’s general manager of public affairs said electricity was restored at about 4:56 pm on Wednesday, marking the completion of repairs.
According to Mbah, with the restoration of the Apir-Lafia 330kV transmission line 2 is now operational.
