NLC Strike: National Grid Has Not Been Shut Down – Transmission Company of Nigeria

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has condemned an online report attributed to its Head of Public Affairs that there is a national blackout due to the ongoing nationwide labour strike.

In a statement by its management on Tuesday, the company also said the report was “mischievous and baseless,” adding that “TCN, through the Public Affairs Head, did not make such statement.”

The TCN said the national grid is “intact and supplying bulk electricity to distribution load centers nationwide.

“As at when issuing this statement, the TCN National Control Centre Osogbo which controls bulk power transmission nationwide, is actively operational. We would appreciate that reports are made with a sense of responsibility not just to cause panic”.
