The Northern Senators Forum has called on the Federal Government to swiftly restore electricity supply in Kano, Kaduna, Katsina, Jigawa and other states in the North.
DAILY POST reports that some parts of the North are in total blackout following a fault in the 330kV DC Transmission Line.
In a communique signed by Chairman of the Northern Senators Forum, Senator Abdulaziz Yar’adua, the senators asked the Federal Government to expedite repairs of the Shiroro-Kaduna transmission line to restore power supply.
They also urged the Federal Government to implement measures to prevent future vandalism of power infrastructure in the North.
“The ongoing outages, resulting from vandalism and national grid disturbances, have brought economic hardship, compromised healthcare delivery, and imposed expensive fuel costs on citizens.
“Small businesses are struggling to operate, hospitals are facing increased running costs, and livelihoods are being severely impacted.
“The Northern Senators Forum respectfully requests the federal government to expedite and prioritise repairs on the Shiroro-Kaduna transmission lines to restore reliable power supply.
“Support renewable energy. Back KEDCO’s initiatives for renewable energy and Mini Grid solutions to provide sustainable power options,” the Forum said.
