Kebbi to Regain Full Power Supply by June 19 as Repairs are Almost Complete
Residents of Kebbi State can expect power to return soon, as the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has confirmed that full electricity supply will be restored on or before Thursday, June 19, 2025. The state has been dealing with a prolonged blackout for nearly two months after major transmission towers on the Kainji–Birnin Kebbi 330kV line collapsed.
The situation worsened when two more towers were brought down by a windstorm in Galadima Village, Shanga Local Government Area, cutting off power to more areas. To ease the pressure, some electricity was temporarily redirected from the Shiroro Power Station in Niger State, but it wasn’t enough to meet the state’s full needs. Many homes and businesses have had to depend on generators and solar energy to get by.
According to TCN, repair work on the damaged towers is now in its final stages. Engineers are working day and night to ensure that the June 19 deadline is met. Once the repairs are complete, Kebbi will be reconnected to the national grid through the Kainji–Birnin Kebbi line, bringing steady power back to the state—just in time to support increased electricity use during the rainy season.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
