The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has denounced an online report that falsely attributed statements to its Head of Public Affairs, claiming there would be a national blackout due to the ongoing nationwide labor strike.

The company labeled the report as false and entirely misleading in a statement released by its management on Tuesday.

They described the report as “mischievous and baseless,” emphasizing that the Head of Public Affairs at TCN did not make such a statement.

The company assured the public that the nation’s grid is “intact and supplying bulk electricity to distribution load centers nationwide.”

“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,” it said.
