The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, has described as baseless and malicious, a publication by Daily Post newspaper that the Head of the Public Affairs Division allegedly said there'll be national blackout.
In a statement by the management of the company, TCN said that at no time did the Head of the Public Affairs division made such statements that were credited to her by Daily Post.
While calling on the general public to disregard the reports which was aimed at causing unnecessary panic, TCN noted that the national grid is intact and it will continue to wheel bulk power to distribution companies to supply Nigerians.
"The Transmission Company of Nigeria hereby states that the publication by Daily Post alleging that the Head of Public Affairs of TCN said that there will be a national blackout is false and totally misleading.
The statement is mischievous and baseless as TCN, through the Public Affairs Head, did not make such statement.
We hereby note that the nation's grid is intact and supplying bulk electricity to distribution load centers nationwide", the statement reads in part.
It added that "As at when issuing this statement, the TCN National Control Centre Osogbo which controls bulk power transmission nationwide, is actively operational.
We would appreciate that reports are made with a sense of responsibility not just to cause panic".
