Transmission Company of Nigeria has commenced the rehabilitation of four vandalised towers along Afam, IPP and Elelenwo 132KV circuit transmission lines in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
In a statement on Wednesday, TCN said the affected towers, identified as T50, T51, T52 and T53, were detected on August 6 by TCN linesmen, noting critical bracing members had been removed.
“Following this, TCN urgently mobilised to site, a contractor that would effect the repairs. A formal handover ceremony was held yesterday, Tuesday September 8, 2026 by Port Harcourt Transmission Region to mark the commencement of the rehabilitation works,” the statement read.
Speaking during the ceremony, the head of lines, Azur Lucky, stressed the need for greater community involvement in protecting transmission infrastructure.
While calling on members of the community to assist in the fight against vandals, Mr Lucky emphasised the place of cooperation in preventing vandalism.
“We are mindful of the risk that vandalism of these towers poses to reliable transmission of electricity along the corridor. The company will do everything possible to ensure the timely completion of the rehabilitation works,” TCN added.
