The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Kano Region, has successfully conducted a two-day operation to demolish illegal structures erected within parts of its Transmission Right of Way (RoW) within Kano Metropolis.

The exercise, carried out on April 23rd and 24th, 2025, was undertaken under the directive of the Encroachment and Anti-Vandalism Committee, reinforcing TCN’s commitment to protecting the integrity of the national transmission network.

The demolition operation targeted unauthorized developments along critical power lines, including the Kano-Zaria 330kV line, Kano-Zaria 132kV line, and Kano-Kankia 132kV line, in the Panshekara and Reka communities. These encroachments posed significant risks to the reliability of the lines and safety of individuals in structures under the transmission lines.

TCN had previously issued warnings against trading, buying, or constructing within designated Transmission Rights of Way, emphasizing the importance of adhering to prescribed clearance zones for the protection of lives and access during lines and towers maintenance.

We hereby reiterate that the specified RoW measurements are 25 meters on either side of 330kV lines and 15 meters on both sides of 132kV lines. Any infringement upon these areas not only negatively impacts TCN’s efforts but also endangers lives, posing severe risks to surrounding communities.

The committee will continue to work not only in Kano Region of TCN, but also in other Transmission Region of TCN, as part of measures to safeguard the transmission lines and integrity of our towers for a more stable and efficient bulk power transmission.
