ABUJA, Nigeria, 8 April 2026 (NPA) — The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced a scheduled preventive maintenance exercise at the Omotosho Transmission Substation.
The work will take place today, 8 April 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on the 150MVA 330/132/33kV transformer and the 44/40MVA 132/33kV transformer.
According to a statement issued by Ndidi Mbah, General Manager (Public Affairs), the exercise is necessary to investigate and rectify a fault affecting the remote operation of the secondary breaker on the 150MVA transformer. In addition, annual preventive maintenance will be carried out on the 44/40MVA transformer and its associated equipment.
