In a statement on Tuesday, the TCN also described the report credited to its Head of Public Affairs as “mischievous and baseless,” pointing out that the TCN through the Public Affairs Head, did not issue such statement.
FALSE PUBLICATION BY DAILY POST ON NATIONAL BLACKOUT
The Transmission Company of Nigeria hereby states that the publication by Daily Post alleging that the Head of Public Affairs of TCN said that there will be a national blackout is false and totally misleading.
The nation’s grid is “intact and supplying bulk electricity to distribution load centers nationwide,” according to the company.
“As at when issuing this statement, the TCN National Control Centre Osogbo which controls bulk power transmission nationwide, is actively operational. We would appreciate that reports are made with a sense of responsibility not just to cause panic,” it said.
