In Kaduna, some residents took to the streets in celebration after power was finally restored to their community. A viral video posted on Thursday by an X user, #Imranmuhdz, captured the locals enthusiastically chanting “Nepa, Nepa tadawo” in Hausa, showing their joy over the return of electricity.
On Wednesday, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) announced that power had been partially restored to seven northern states after severe outages caused by the vandalism of the Shiroro-Kaduna transmission line. This incident had severely impacted power supply, leaving Lafia, Makurdi, Jos, Kaduna, Kano, Bauchi, and Gombe without electricity for nine days.
According to TCN, electricity was reconnected to the affected areas at 4:56 PM on Wednesday after repairs were completed on the 330kV Ugwuaji-Apir transmission line 1.
