TCN Restores Power Supply to Taraba State Following Upgrade of Yola–Mayo Belwa–Jalingo Transmission Line
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has restored electricity supply to Taraba State, including Jalingo and its environs, following the successful completion of upgrade works on the Yola–Mayo Belwa–Jalingo transmission line.
Full restoration was achieved at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, 13 January 2026, after the completion of all pre-commissioning tests and the mandatory soak period, in line with standard operational procedures.
The planned outage began at 2:16 p.m. on 9 January 2026 was to allow contractors carry out critical upgrade works on the transmission line. These included line stringing from the terminal tower to the newly constructed line bay to enable the energization of newly installed 150MVA power transformers at the Jalingo and Mayo Belwa Transmission Substations.
To ensure the safe and seamless execution of the project, the Gombe–Yola transmission line was temporarily opened on 11 January 2026 to facilitate associated line bay extension and transfer works at the Yola Transmission Substation.
Yola Electricity Distribution Company (YEDC) is a major beneficiary of the upgrade of the Mayo Belwa and Jalingo Transmission Substations from 132kV to 330kV. This enhancement will significantly improve power reliability, increase transmission capacity, and support growing electricity demand in Taraba State and neighbouring areas.
TCN appreciates the patience and understanding of electricity consumers during the outage and reaffirms its commitment to strengthening the national transmission grid for reliable and efficient power supply across the country.

🗣️ Peter Schmeichel: "It's not lived up to the expectations. You need TWO teams to give a good game of football and there is only ONE team trying to play football and that's Liverpool!"
I don't want to insult Arsenal but their brand of football is so annoying to watch, it's designed to exploit opponents while waiting for set pieces."
President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Olumode Samuel Adeyemi, the Deputy Controller General of the Federal Fire Service (FFS), to become the new Controller-General of the Service.

@flyairpeace why will you introduce a flight from Yola-Lagos-Yola on Mondays, when you know well that you are not going to fly that day? Last week Monday, you canceled my flight from Yola to Lagos, and today, you canceled my flight from Lagos to Yola. @NCAA should look into it!
With the conclusion of the local government election in Rivers State, the shadows of political intimidation and judicial chicanery have dissipated, paving the way for the noble pursuit of governance to commence in the State.
From the bustling heart of Port Harcourt to the tranquil shores of Onne, the populace has spoken in harmonious unison, affirming that nothing can better democracy.
As prophesied, it has now been revealed that the citizens of Rivers are astute and resolute, unwavering in their rejection of any form of political oppression, harassment, or the machinations of self-serving godfathers.
As I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the newly elected local government leaders, I urge them to wear the welfare of the people as their foremost badge of honour and shun tyranny and delusional ambition in their political endeavours.
Moreover, I commend the resilient people of Rivers State for their steadfastness in the face of adversity, courageously ensuring that yesterday's election unfolded with peace and integrity.
I must also applaud Governor Fubara, @SimFubaraKSC, for his unwavering commitment to the people's interests, safeguarding the sanctity of the local government elections even amidst provocative challenges.
In the grand tapestry of this election, it is ultimately the people who emerge victorious, their sacred right to choose their leaders firmly upheld within the framework of our democratic process. -AA

The wife of Muhammad Sanusi II, the 16th Emir of Kano and sister of the 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, is celebrating the reinstatement of her husband.
The action of the Federal Government in deploying soldiers in Kano in the tussle over the throne of the ancient city is an upset to the peace and security of the state and also in breach of the 1999 Constitution as Amended.
In performing their constitutional duties of law-making, the Kano State House of Assembly (KSHA) passed the amended Kano State Emirate Council (Repeal) Bill 2024 in consonance with the provision of Section 4 of the Constitution 1999 as Amended, whereas the Governor of Kano State, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf subsequently signed the bill into law. The law, therefore, repealed the 2019 version, which balkanised the ancient Kano Emirate into five.
The foregoing circumstances happened within the confines of the law and in compliance with the powers conferred on the Governor as provided by Section 5(2) of the 1999 Constitution as amended; and also in consultation with the Kingmakers of Kano, reappointed Sanusi Lamido Sanusi (also known as Muhammadu Sanusi II) as the 16th Emir of Kano State and accordingly handed him a letter of appointment.
It is surprising that in the early hours of today, at or about 5:30 am, the former Emir of Kano, His Majesty Aminu Ado Bayero, backed by Federal might, made their way into the Nasarawa Palace of the Kano Emirate while the reappointed Emir, Muhammadu Sanusi II was at the Gidan Dabo, which is the main residence of the Emir of Kano.
We need to remind the Tinubu administration that Kano State is known for peace and harmony spanning thousands of years, and any attempt to destabilise the peace of the Land of Commerce shall be resisted. Recall that when Muhammadu Sanusi II was dethroned on 9th March 2020, Kano forged on in peace without any fracas. -AA
