Jos DisCo promises to restore power supply to Bauchi, Gombe soon
The Jos Electricity Distribution Company says it will soon restore the power supply to Bauchi and Gombe, following progress in repairing four vandalised transmission towers.
JED’s managing director, Abdu Bello-Mohammed, said this during an inspection visit to the ongoing reconstruction of vandalised 330kV power line towers.
This was disclosed in a statement by JED’s spokesman, Friday Adakole-Elijah, on Sunday.
Mr Bello-Mohammed said the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) management was working assiduously to fix the problems.
The JED boss said, “I want to sincerely thank you on behalf of the MD/CEO of Jos Electricity Distribution Plc for the speed you have exhibited so far.
“I urged you to work towards meeting the deadline of 27th May 2024 for the completion of the repairs and restoration of normal supply to the good people of Bauchi and Gombe States, as committed to.”
About three weeks ago, four 330kV towers were vandalised, putting the entire Gombe and parts of Bauchi in darkness.
