The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Katsina Sub-Region and Imcomtel Engineering Limited have conducted a joint inspection of the Katsina 330/132/33kV Transmission Substation Project ahead of its next major installation phase. This was contained in a statement from the management of TCN.
The statement reads: “The inspection, which took place on Thursday, September 24, 2026, was led by the Assistant General Manager (Transmission), Katsina Sub-Region, Engr. Usman Idris, who received the Imcomtel delegation headed by Engr. Emmanuel Okafor.
