The Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) has announced power outages in parts of Kano, Katsina and Kaduna states following the collapse of electricity poles caused by a strong windstorm.
According to a statement issued by the company on Wednesday, the windstorm brought down 13 electricity poles along feeder lines supplying power to several affected communities.
KEDCO said the development disrupted electricity supply to Dandume in Katsina State; Rogo, Sundu, Falgore, Tudun Wada, Saya Saya, Kadawa and Hago communities in Kano State; as well as Ikara in Kaduna State.
“The windstorm damaged 13 electricity poles along affected feeder lines, resulting in power interruption in the affected areas,” the statement said.
