Taraba

Taraba State Governor, Agbu Kefas has expressed concern over the disruption in electricity supply caused by the alleged vandalization of four transmission line towers along the Jos-Gombe 330kV line. The disruption which occurred on 22 April 2024, has left the state in total blackout for almost three weeks.

The governor, in a press briefing held in Jalingo, on Thursday through his Commissioner of Energy and Economic Development, Naomi Tanko Agbu, described the act as senseless, saying, 'These senseless acts of sabotage have not only jeopardized the reliability of electrical infrastructure in the North-East region but have also resulted in widespread inconvenience and hardship for our community, plunging millions into blackout.

''The outcry for a robust plan such as the North-East ring circuit as contained in the proposal of TCN expansion plan to connect the North–East to the South of Nigeria should be implemented by the federal government immediately''. He urged the people of the state to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities or individuals observed near transmission line towers or electrical facilities attempting to vandalise any infrastructure.
