TCN Restores Full Power to Apo Substation After Tower Relocation

TCN Restores Full Power to Apo Substation After Tower Relocation

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced the successful restoration of full bulk power to the Apo Transmission Substation. This follows the completion of the relocation of eight towers along the Kukwaba-Apo line.

With this development, the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) can now resume normal electricity supply from the substation to customers in the affected areas, putting an end to the load rationing experienced during the relocation period.

TCN expressed gratitude to electricity consumers for their patience and understanding throughout the two-week exercise. The relocation of the towers became necessary to accommodate the ongoing road dualization project along the Apo axis.

This achievement underscores TCN's commitment to ensuring efficient power transmission despite infrastructural challenges.

By Insight by Oppy In a significant security development, armed bandits previously operating in Bukuyum Local Government Area (LGA) of Zamfara State have reportedly relocated to Bani town in Kwara State. This move comes after sustained military operations and intensified efforts by local vigilantes, leading to heavy casualties among the criminal group. According to intelligence sources, a captured insurgent, apprehended in Kyaram community, revealed crucial details about the current status and movements of the fleeing bandits. The informant disclosed that many fighters had been neutralized or forced to abandon their strongholds due to relentless security operations. However, key leaders and surviving members have now regrouped in Kwara State, posing a fresh security challenge. “Their ranks have been significantly weakened, but they still possess dangerous weapons and ammunition.

GOVERNANCE AND SECURITY IN KWARA STATE.

●AKOGUN IYIOLA OYEDEPO● Perhaps man would have preferred to live alone undisturbed by others, if it would have been safe to do so. But Thomas Hobbes in his book, Leviathan, penned the evergreen state of man in the state of nature. His evergreen statement of man’s life in the state of nature is “solitary, poor, nasty, and short”. I thought deeply about this claim of 16th century British philosopher.   One can imagine billion of men on earth living alone outside community or society. This means man will not be gregarious, there will be no social interactions that will depend on compassion, love and understanding. Man will depend on might for survival and everyone will be for himself and individuals will provide for his or her own needs especially, security. In such state of nature, there would be no life enhancing opportunities like all means of transportation, housing, social interaction, etc, as we have in modern life. The imaginary life in the state of nat...

Kwara: State of Harmony Now a Safe Haven and Dumping Ground for Bandits

By Opeyemi Taiwo Once celebrated as the “State of Harmony,” Kwara’s peaceful, multicultural identity has underpinned its Ease of Doing Business ranking, only to be eclipsed by a surge in armed criminality . Dislodged by military operations in Zamfara and Kaduna, bandits have exploited the porous Kamuku Forest corridor to entrench themselves in Baruten and Kaiama LGAs, while southern routes through Ekiti and Oke-Ero have become kidnapping arteries . Despite governors and local government chairmen pocketing over ₦375 billion annually in opaque “security votes” , the governor has leaned almost entirely on federal troop mobilised on April 22, 2025, neglecting state-led vigilante corps and rural outposts . In the most chilling incident yet, eight gunmen ambushed a Toyota Sienna (Reg. No. FFA 50 XD) around 6:30 pm on April 18, 2025, along the Obbo-Aiyegunle–Osi Road, abducting seven travellers in under 20 minutes . The “State of Harmony” and Ease of Doing Business Kwara’s officia...
