More than 2,000 transformers “idling away” in PHCN stores

By on October 2, 2012

More than 2,000 transformers and power transmission accessories are “idling away” at the central stores of PHCN in Lagos, according to revelations from the power ministry.

The revelation emerged at an unscheduled visit of the Minister of State for Power Darius Ishaku on stores of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria in Shogunle, Lagos.

Ishaku directed that all 33/11 KVA transformers, panels, oils and other power equipment at the stores be allocated to parts of the country where they are needed within the next two weeks.

He was “surprised that over 2000 transformers and other accessories for the transmission and distribution of power effectively to Nigerians were idling away at the central stores while consumers are complaining of damaged transformers.”
