The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has accused Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) of grossly misleading customers within its franchise area.
According to TCN, on Sunday, November 17, 2024, IBEDC issued a public notice where it blamed TCN for power supply disruptions in some communities within its franchise area.
Contrary to IBEDC’s claims, TCN, in a statement on Tuesday, November 19, 2024, issued by Ndidi Mbah, Public Affairs Manager of TCN, said, “Our thorough investigation reveals the breakers at TCN’s 132/33kV Sawmill Transmission Substation are, in fact, fully functional. The actual cause of the disruptions lies within IBEDC’s distribution lines and not TCN.”
TCN, therefore, urged IBEDC to focus on addressing the challenges within its network, rather than spreading misinformation.
“Deliberate dissemination of falsehood is unacceptable and undermines the collaborative efforts necessary for efficient power supply.
“For the record, TCN’s infrastructure at the 132/33kV Sawmill Substation has not contributed to any power supply disruptions within IBEDC’s franchise area as claimed,” the statement concluded.
This portal reached out to IBEDC for its response but the source declined to comment on the concerns by TCN.
