The House of Representatives has resolved to investigate the root causes of incessant national grid collapse and the capacity of the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, to address the ugly trend to forestall future occurrences.

The resolution followed a motion of urgent national importance by Sani Bala - APC, Kano - on the need to find a lasting solution to the situation which he described as embarrassing to the nation.

Rep Sani Bala added that it is incomprehensible that all the key power plants in the country, including Egbin, Utorogu, Chevron Oredo, Oben gas-fired power plants, Ughelli, and Chevron Escravos power plants could all shut down at once.

At the end of the debate, the House mandated the power committee to conduct an investigation into the root causes of incessant collapses and to address the ugly trend to forestall future occurrences.
