*TCN Launches Line Reconductoring in Kano, Contractors Set 12-Month Delivery Target*

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has launched a line reconductoring project in Kano to improve power transmission reliability across Northern Nigeria. The project involves upgrading the ageing Kumbotso-Dakata 132kV Double-Circuit Transmission Line, which has been a major bottleneck affecting supply to key industrial hubs like the Dakata Industrial Zone and the upcoming Walalambe Transmission Substation.

The project, expected to be completed within 12 months, includes critical upgrades such as replacing obsolete ACSR dog conductors with high-capacity ACCC-Silvassa conductors, installing Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) for enhanced communication and monitoring, and deploying durable composite polymer insulators suited for harsh environmental conditions.

TCN's General Manager, Transmission Services, Engr. A.I. Sharifai emphasized the project's importance, stating that it's not just infrastructure renewal but about restoring confidence in the transmission network and empowering industries and communities through reliable electricity.

This project is part of TCN's efforts to enhance power infrastructure and economic development in the region. Similar projects include the reconductoring of the Kankia-Katsina 132kV transmission line, expected to last between five and six weeks, and the upgrade of transmission lines in Port Harcourt, aimed at increasing line capacity and reducing power interruptions.

The TCN has also completed 22 power transmission projects and upgrades since 2020, including delivering four units of 132 kilovolts transmission substations and upgrading 15 existing substations with higher capacity transformers and equipment .

TCN is committed to contributing its quota to the country's economic and social development through impactful transmission infrastructural development.

According to JTT , the Nigerian constitution works against the interests of the Nigerian people can be interpreted in various ways, and it often reflects a critical perspective on governance, political practices, or socioeconomic conditions in Nigeria. Here are a few points that might be raised in such a discussion: 1. Federal Structure and Resource Control: Critics argue that the distribution of resources and powers between the federal government and the states can disadvantage certain regions, especially in oil-rich areas. This has led to feelings of marginalization among various ethnic groups. 2. Human Rights Issues: There are concerns regarding the protection of human rights under the Nigerian constitution. Issues such as police brutality, restrictions on freedom of expression, and the treatment of political dissidents are often highlighted. 3. Judiciary Independence: The independence of the judiciary is essential for upholding the rule of law. If the judiciary is perceived as being influenced by the executive or other political forces, it can undermine public trust in the constitution and legal system. 4. Corruption: Widespread corruption can lead to the ineffective implementation of constitutional provisions, resulting in a lack of accountability and transparency in governance. 5. Electoral Issues: Concerns about electoral integrity, including allegations of rigging and violence, can lead to a lack of faith in the democratic process and the constitutional framework designed to protect citizens' rights to choose their leaders. 6. Amendments and Reforms: The process of amending the constitution can be contentious, and some citizens may feel that their needs and concerns are not adequately represented in the constitutional framework. 7. Social Justice and Inequality: Issues of social justice, economic inequality, and access to basic services can be seen as a failure of the constitutional mandate to provide for the welfare of all citizens. It's important to note that while these criticisms exist, there are also many who argue that the constitution provides a framework for democracy and the rule of law in Nigeria. The effectiveness of the constitution in serving the Nigerian people often depends on the political will, civic engagement, and the active participation of the citizenry in governance.
