*Says It’s False, Misleading
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), has debunked a report alleging that there would be a nationwide electricity blackout as false and misleading.
A statement signed by TCN’s management, insisted that the statement was baseless and mischievous.
“The Transmission Company of Nigeria hereby states that the publication by Daily Post alleging that the Head of Public Affairs of TCN said that there will be a national blackout is false and totally misleading.
“The statement is mischievous and baseless as TCN, through the Public Affairs Head, did not make such a statement,” the management said.
The company assured Nigerians that “the nation’s grid is intact and supplying bulk electricity to distribution load centres 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,” the company added.
