Residents of Kaduna state in Northern Nigeria are now enjoying electricity after being thrown into darkness for four days.
Kaduna State, which has over 6,113,503 population, experienced blackout on Sunday as a result of a strike action by the Nigerian Labour Congress.
However, a statement issued by the Kaduna Electric Utility Company on Wednesday noted that power supply had been fully restored.
The power utility company said: “We are happy to report that power supply has been restored to many parts of Kaduna State after the suspension of the strike action by the Nigerian Labour Congress.
“As at 10:30pm , Wednesday, we were able to pick load on most of our 11KV feeders hence many parts of the metropolis including Zaria and environs, have had their supply restored. This was possible after restoration of the 33KV feeders by the Transmission Company of Nigeria.
“We, once again, thank all our esteemed customers and other stakeholders for bearing with us in the past four days. We also appreciate the efforts of the TCN team for supporting us in restoring supply back,” a statement issued by Abdulazeez Abdullahi, Head of Corporate Communication for Kaduna Electric Utility Company, said.
