Power outages worsen business operations in Borno, Yobe, Adamawa

The Lack of steady power supply worsened by insurgency has continued to affect businesses and other activities in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the three states, known as BAY states, are the worst affected by the activities of insurgency in the North-east where critical assets, including power transmission lines, have been destroyed.

In Borno State, the transmission line from the national grid supplying Maiduguri, the state capital, and its environs, had been destroyed, while the newly-constructed 50-megawatt station constructed by NNPC, has developed problems and is still undergoing repairs for the past two weeks.
