The Management of Kaduna Electric, (KEDCo) has said that the current total power blackout in Kaduna State was due to a 5-day warning strike embarked by labour unions.
The Head of Corporate Communication of KEDCo, AbdulAzeez Abdullahi, made the announcement in an issued statement yesterday in Kaduna.
According to the statement, “In compliance with the NLC directive, the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN has knocked off all our 33KV lines in Kaduna State.
“Consequently, we are appealing to all communities, security agencies and vigilante groups to be vigilant so that men of the underworld will not cash in on the situation to vandalise power supply installations.
“Any suspicious movement around distribution sub-stations (transformers) should be reported to the relevant security agency”, he said.
He stated that it is the collective responsibility of citizens to protect critical national assets in their neighborhoods.
Abdullahi added that the company appeals to both labour unions and the Kaduna State government “to strive at an amicable resolution for normalcy to return”.
