Here is the reason for the worsened power supply in Nigeria

The Transmission Company of Nigeria has revealed that the reason for the worsening electricity situation across the country is pipeline vandalism.

On Friday in a statement, the General Manager, Public Affairs, of the firm, Nigeria’s sole power transmission company, Seun Olagunju, said the “major cause of the current low power generation is not particularly the fire incident but the vandalism of gas pipelines that resulted in short supply of gas to thermal power generating stations.’’

Mr. Olagunju also confirmed that there was a fire incident at the Afam V power station.
