Electricity supply is flowing again to parts of Akwa Ibom State after the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) restored the 132kV transmission line linking Aba and Itu, which had been out of service for about 30 hours.
The company announced in a statement on Monday that the line was brought back at 7:53 p.m. on Sunday, 8th November 2026.
TCN explained that the outage began at 1:02 p.m. on Saturday, 7th November 2026, and was caused by a fault on the line.
It said its maintenance crew patrolled the line and carried out the necessary corrective measures, which led to its successful restoration.
With the line back in service, Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHEDC) has resumed taking electricity for onward distribution to customers in Uyo, Eket, Ekim and Itu.
TCN assured electricity consumers of its continued commitment to the efficient transmission of bulk electricity.
