The Managing Director, Transmission Company of Nigeria , Alhaji Usman Gur says the Federal Government in collaboration with international donor agencies has set aside over 1.61 billion dollars to ensure constant power supply in the country.
He noted that the federal government has already earmarked about N32 billion to compensate Nigerians whose lands, houses and farms could be affected by the Righ-Of-Way to create Power Lines for the execution of the project. “You know we are going to connect Rimi Zakaria to this sub-station . Rimi Zakaria is the place we are putting another 330 KV Sub-station, just like this one in Kumbotso.”“The mistake that happened in the past is that we normally award a contract for line without doing the study. You know the study will establish who are the people under the right-of-way; and who are those people that are going to be affected by the lines.“Unfortunately, this contract was awarded many years, even before I came.
According to him, “what we are doing for Kano state, actually is that we are trying to change the game. It is what you call a game-changer. Right now, the only line that supplies Kano is the 330 Single-Sighted Line that runs from Kaduna to Kano. He said this means it is going to carry, four Conductors per pair, which is expected to bring 2,400 Mega Watts of power.
“Now we are working to close the link between Sokoto to Kaura Namoda, and Kaura Namoda to Katsina. Now, if you complete this line from Kumbotso Sub-station to Rimi Zakara, that line also went to Katsina; which means from Kainji, you can feed Kano through Sokoto, Katsina, Daura and Gwiwa.
