Some residents in Kaduna celebrated on the streets after electricity was finally restored to their town.
In a viral video posted by X user who identifies as #Imranmuhdz on X.com on Thursday, the residents could be heard chanting “Nepa, Nepa tadawo” in Hausa, expressing their excitement over the return of power.
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) announced on Wednesday that electricity supply had been partially restored to seven Northern states that had experienced significant outages due to the vandalization of the Shiroro-Kaduna transmission line.
This incident disrupted power distribution, leaving Lafia, Makurdi, Jos, Kaduna, Kano, Bauchi, and Gombe in darkness for nine days.
According to TCN, power was restored to the affected areas by 4:56 PM on Wednesday, following the repair of the 330kV Ugwuaji-Apir transmission line 1.
