Reps ask TCN to resuscitate Yenagoa power transmission sub-station
On Wednesday, the House of Representatives urged the Transmission Company of Nigeria to intervene swiftly and resuscitate power distribution and transmission in Yenagoa.
The lawmakers said the timely intervention of TCN could save the power station from total collapse.
The call was sequel to the adoption of a motion by Oboku Ofor (PDP-Bayelsa) at the plenary on Wednesday.
He said on September 13, 2023, the 132/33KV transmission substation serving Yenagoa and its environs was gutted by fire.
According to him, this has thrown Yenagoa into total darkness, and the state has been struggling to use only a feeder to supply five feeders.
“Worried that the operational feeder was getting weak, Ofor argued that if urgent steps were not taken, the feeder would collapse. The Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company has been carrying out remedial services to avert the collapse of the weak operational feeder,” he said.
After listening to contributions, Speaker Tajudeen Abbas mandated the committee on power to look into the report and ensure that the appropriate government agencies intervened.
