Port Harcourt — The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, has called on Nigerians to remain vigilant against vandals targeting power installations as the holiday season begins.
TCN warned that criminals may seek to exploit the festivities to disrupt power supply, urging communities to report any suspicious activity immediately to security operatives or the nearest TCN office.
Ndidi Mbah, TCN’s General Manager, Public Affairs, in a statement, emphasized that public cooperation was essential to safeguarding critical infrastructure and preventing disruption to power supply.
The company noted that without the vigilance of local communities, ongoing vandalism could undermine efforts to ensure stable bulk power delivery to distribution centers.
The statement reads, “As we celebrate with our families and friends, we encourage our host communities to be observant of any unusual activity around power installations in their vicinity. Vandals targeting power installations may take advantage of the season’s festivities. It is therefore crucial that we remain attentive.
“We are committed to ensuring stable and uninterrupted bulk power supply to distribution load centers throughout the holiday period and beyond. We, however, cannot achieve this with the continued vandalism of our installations,” Mbah added.
TCN also urged the public to act quickly, stating that timely reporting of suspicious behavior can help prevent vandalism and protect power infrastructure.
“Let us work together to safeguard our power installations and ensure a joyful holiday season,” Mbah concluded.
The company reassured the public of its commitment to maintaining a steady power supply throughout the season and wished Nigerians a peaceful holiday season and a prosperous 2025.
