Minister of Power<\/a>, Abubakar Aliyu, while on an inspection visit to the Yobe power transmission substation on Wednesday.<\/p>\nRepresented by Sule Abdulazeez, the MD\/CEO Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Aliyu stated that the recent demand for electricity in the area shows that the station does not have the capacity to supply power to Maiduguri, Borno state.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, the management has awarded contracts to put in place another 150 Million Volt-Amps (MVA) and 2\/60 MVA in this station which will increase the capacity of the station.<\/p>\n
The minister added that at the end of the project which would begin soon, all other places in the area would have improved power supply.<\/p>\n
Commending the security agents for their tireless effort to secure the facility, Aliyu enjoined the communities around the facility to take ownership and report any suspicious movement around the facility.<\/p>\n
