Senator Shehu Sani has urged Nigerians to refrain from politicizing the issue of frequent national grid collapses, calling instead for cooperative support of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).

In a press briefing in Abuja, Sani emphasized that recent improvements in electricity supply highlight the strides made under the leadership of the new Minister of Power and the TCN Managing Director.

He criticized those seeking to blame TCN management, describing such calls as “poorly informed.”

Senator Sani pointed out that Nigeria’s power sector has made visible progress under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, contrasting it with past efforts that consumed billions with limited outcomes. He further questioned the lack of public scrutiny over the electricity budget and the private sector’s involvement, stressing that TCN’s challenges are exacerbated in insurgency-affected areas, particularly in northern Nigeria, where government properties have been heavily damaged.

Sani urged politicians and civil society organizations to avoid using the grid collapse issue to disparage TCN management, suggesting that they should instead support efforts toward a stable electricity supply.

TCN recently attributed a North-West region blackout to vandalism and sabotage, specifically damage to towers along the 330kV Shiroro-Kaduna line. Temporary solutions have been implemented to restore power, while residents in Kaduna, Zaria, and Kano called for stricter penalties for vandalism.

As part of its commitment to improving power management, TCN has introduced an advanced Supervision Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system to oversee the national grid, an initiative widely praised by stakeholders as a positive step for the sector.

Biafra Government Demands Immediate Release of Speed Darlington, Threatens Action Against “Unauthorized Arrests
Spread the love

 

The Biafra Government has issued a stern demand for the immediate release of Mr. Speed Darlington, a Biafran citizen allegedly detained by what it describes as “unauthorized terrorists in Nigeria security uniforms.” The statement from the Biafra administration warns that the Nigerian state is jeopardizing diplomatic relations by disregarding the sovereignty of Biafra in the absence of its Prime Minister.

According to the Biafra Government, the only legitimate security institutions within Biafra’s claimed territory are the Biafra Ministry of Defence and the Biafra Police Force, established under the Act 01/2024. The administration labeled any arrests carried out by external entities as acts of terrorism and vowed to respond decisively.

The statement also outlined a clear ultimatum. It declared that if Mr. Darlington is not released by December 2, 2024, the Biafra Defence Forces will deploy a rescue operation to secure his freedom.

“The Biafra Government will not tolerate the kidnapping of its citizens under the guise of unauthorized arrests. Our territory and citizens are under the protection of the Biafra Police Force and Ministry of Defence. Any other entity operating within our borders is deemed a hostile force,” the statement read.

This development comes amidst escalating tensions between the Nigerian government and pro-Biafra groups advocating for secession. Observers warn that the situation could lead to further unrest if a diplomatic resolution is not reached promptly.
