The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) on Sunday said its engineers were working assiduously to restore power supply to Calabar, after a substation was gutted by fire.
Mrs Ndidi Mbah, General Manager, Public Affairs, TCN, made this known in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.
Mbah said that the fire occurred on Saturday at its Adiabo 330/132/33 KiloVolt (kV) Substation in Cross River.
”Presently, TCN engineers are replacing the affected equipment to ensure the restoration of power to affected areas.
”Supply will be restored as soon as equipment affected by the incident is replaced, most likely, Monday evening. Investigation into the cause of the incident is already ongoing,” she said.
The TCN apologised for every inconvenience to the government and electricity customers in the state and pledged to do all it could to ensure quick restoration of bulk supply to the area.
