The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has restored the Omotosho-Ikeja West Transmission line after it tripped on Wednesday.
The TCN’s General Manager for Public Affairs, Mrs. Ndidi Mbah, confirmed in a statement on Wednesday that the line had been successfully restored and normal power supply resumed in the affected areas.
She said the Omotosho-Ikeja West 330 Kilo Volt (kV) transmission line tripped at the Omotosho end at 11:34 a.m. on Wednesday.
The distribution companies had earlier on Wednesday reported that the national electricity grid suffered yet another collapse—the first of 2025.
The report reignited concerns over the country’s fragile power infrastructure.
The GM said: “At the time, the Benin-Egbin 330kV line was undergoing a scheduled outage for mechanical line tracing.
“The tripping caused a cascaded outage, affecting power supply in the Lagos, Abuja, and Osogbo axes.
“However, all other parts of the grid remained unaffected contrary to media reports of a grid collapse.
“We assure Nigerians of our commitment to the efficient delivery of bulk power across the nation as we continue to implement measures to enhance the stability of the national grid.”
