The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) on Sunday said its engineers were working assiduously to restore power supply to Calabar, after a substation was gutted by fire.
Ndidi Mbah, TCN spokesperson, made this known in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.
Ms Mbah said that the fire occurred on Saturday at its Adiabo 330/132/33 KiloVolt (kV) Substation in Cross River.
