Strike: TCN denies looming national blackout
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has denounced a media report about a looming national blackout as workers commenced a nationwide indefinite strike on Tuesday.
TCN emphasised that the claim made by an online news outlet alleging that the Head of Public Affairs of TCN predicted a national blackout was inaccurate and misleading.
This was revealed in a statement signed by TCN management which was shared on its X account on Tuesday.
The statement clarified that no such declaration was made by the Public Affairs Head, disclosing that the country’s power grid remained intact, consistently providing substantial electricity to distribution load centres across the nation.
