Managing Director of the Bayelsa Electricity company, Engr. Olice Kemenanabo has assured that power will be restored within the next 48 hours in the state.
Engr. Kemenanabo gave the assurance while briefing newsmen in Yenagoa alongside the Commissioner for Power, Mr. Komuko Kharin , his Information, Orientation and Strategy counterpart, Mrs. Ebiuwou Koku-Obiyai and the Regional Manager of PHEDC, Mr. Lawrence Emeyi, on the progress made by the state government to restore power in the state.
“As at this morning, we have a challenge on the line between Ahoada and Yenagoa and the TCN officials are patrolling the line. Once that is done, the Yenagoa tier will be energized.
We have about Seven Feeders going out of the Yenagoa transmission station and a few of them have some challenges, and therefore, all of them may not come up at the same time.
If the reports I have were anything to go by, in the next 48 hours, parts of Yenagoa will be on the gridā, Engr. Kemenanabo stated.
Also, the Information Commissioner appealed to citizens to understand with the government as efforts are being made to look into the over 250 vandalised transformers within Yenagoa.
