Nigerians are being misinformed by mischievous talebearers against the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) for “self-centered goals”, Alhaji Gimba Bukhar, former staff of the company, has claimed.

He was reacting to an article on TCN’s procurement process published by an online medium.

He said: “There is a grand plan by some individuals to distract the progress being made by TCN.

“These individuals see nothing good in TCN, they don’t report the achievements being recorded through commissioning of new substations, stringing new lines or upgrading existing substations. And it seems both the writers and the originators of the story do not have or forgot to provide evidence that, all the system collapses being referred to are caused by TCN.

“For avoidance of doubt, there is no single hard evidence that TCN was responsible for system collapse despite its challenges. Yes, there are challenges, yes TCN loses transformers, breaker and other equipment from time to time but most open manage the situation.

“The purveyors of disinformation prey on the vulnerability or partisan potential of recipients whom they hope to enlist as amplifiers and multipliers. In this way, they seek to animate us into becoming conduits of their messages by exploiting our propensities to share information for a variety of reasons.”
