Femi OwolabiThe federal government says insurgents are destroying power lines in the north-east, which is affecting the supply of electricity in the zone.

Abubakar Aliyu, minister for power, while briefing journalists on the outcome of the federal executive council meeting on Wednesday, said the constant attacks on power lines in the north-east have affected the ability of the Transmission Company of Nigeria to power the zone.He said after vandalised installations are restored, the insurgents attack the equipment again.

“So, they’re enjoying it but very little. By the time the electricity reaches Maiduguri, it will drop to six or seven megawatts because of losses along the way. “We are currently procuring another 33 double circuit new ones to Maiduguri along the same route. The idea is if someone tampers with it, it’s easy to restore it within a day or two, unlike the bigger one which is the 330 which takes weeks or months to restore because it’s in the bush.
