Tinubu Orders Swift Action to Restore Power in Northern Nigeria
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu recently expressed deep concern over the power outage affecting a large portion of northern Nigeria.
This issue arose from a deliberate act of vandalism on the Shiroro-Kaduna transmission line, which disrupted electricity for around 17 northern states, impacting daily life and slowing down economic activities.
On Monday, President Tinubu held a crucial meeting with the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, urging him and other key players in the sector to expedite efforts to restore power across all affected states.
The President emphasized that prompt action was necessary to alleviate the strain on communities and businesses that rely on a steady power supply.
Tinubu expressed his disappointment regarding the damage to essential public infrastructure, highlighting the unnecessary hardship such actions create for citizens.
Tinubu also instructed the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) engineers to work with full dedication in restoring electricity swiftly.
Acknowledging the importance of their work, he urged them not to lose focus as communities depend on them to revive normal life.
To ensure the safety of those repairing the damaged infrastructure, Tinubu directed the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, to collaborate closely with the Nigerian Army and Air Force.
These security forces were instructed to provide robust protection for TCN engineers, including aerial support to guard against any potential threats while repairs are underway.
Moreover, President Tinubu appealed to traditional rulers, community leaders, and influential voices within these regions to support security agencies in safeguarding public infrastructure from future attacks.
He encouraged a united front, stressing that the protection of these assets benefits the entire community by preventing further disruption.
Catholics across Benue State came together on Thursday in a heartfelt prayer walk, seeking God’s help for peace to return to the troubled region. The walk, which drew large crowds from different parishes, was marked by hymns, placards, and quiet reflection. Priests, religious groups, and lay faithful joined in solidarity as they moved through the streets.
They also prayed for the victims of the recent violence, including those killed in the attack on Yelwata, Guma Local Government Area, where many lives were lost. Those who took part in the procession spoke out about the rising insecurity and called for healing, unity, and a renewed sense of justice in the state.
The recent surprise visit to Benue State by President Bola Tinubu has stirred many reactions from the public.
It was reported that some school children who were outside were urged to welcome the president under the rain.
It was also noted that what started as a simple welcome turned into a political rally for the President and the Governor of the state.
This gained many criticisms from the public, especially online, as they shared their thoughts on the visit and the welcome. Many highlighted the fact that it was meant to be a condolence visit and not a celebratory event.
It has been reported that President Bola Tinubu just arrived to Benue State amid the violence attacks happening.
It can be recalled that the state recently through a massacre as 200 lives were lost due to the violence attacks by armed people.
No solutions has been addresses to what will happen in Benue state, till now. President Tinubu arrives to Benue state, the people now hope for a solution to be given and justice to be served.
