The Management of Kaduna Electric has said that the current total power blackout in Kaduna State was as a result of the ongoing five-day warning strike embarked on by labour unions in the state.
The strike was in solidarity and to protest alleged injustice done to workers by Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-rufai.
Abdulazeez Abdullahi, Head of Corporate Communication of the company made the announcement in a statement issued on Sunday in Kaduna.
In compliance with the NLC directive, the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN has knocked off all our 33KV lines in Kaduna State.
“Consequently, we are appealing to all communities, security agencies and vigilante groups to be vigilant so that men of the underworld will not cash in on the situation to vandalise power supply installations.
“Any suspicious movement around distribution sub-stations (transformers) should be reported to the relevant security agency”, he said.
He stated that it is the collective responsibility of citizens to protect critical national assets in their neighbourhood.
Abdullahi added that the company appeals to both labour unions and Kaduna State Government “to strive at an amicable resolution for normalcy to return”.
Attack on 1 is an attack on all.
