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 installation phase.
The inspection, held on Thursday, September 24, 2026, was led by the Assistant General Manager (Transmission), Katsina Sub-Region, Engr. Usman Idris, who received the Imcomtel delegation led by Engr. Emmanuel Okafor.
The team inspected ongoing civil works, equipment locations and supporting infrastructure to ascertain readiness for the next phase.
A major highlight was the assessment of two 100MVA power transformers delivered to the site on July 9, 2026, and their designated plinths. The transformers are expected to significantly boost transmission capacity across Katsina State and the North-West region.
