Ms Mbah said that the transformer project was part of the ongoing TCN-World Bank power projects aimed at further enhancing power supply in Nigeria.
“The growing trend of vandalism targeting transmission lines and towers…hindering the expansion and stability of the national grid,” said TCN.
“Although no life was lost, the incident has been reported to Gezawa Divisional Police Station and the driver has also been detained,” said TCN.
TCN says it has deployed a Generation Dip/Loss Detection System, which detects and responds to sudden drops or dips in power generation.
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) said nine towers in the Obafemi Owode area of Abeokuta, Ogun, collapsed due to vandalism.
