Ambrose Sule, the Environment Reporters/Transmission Company of Nigeria stated this at a media parley in Abuja on the theme: “TCN Programmes and Achievements”.

These difficult terrains negatively impact transmission towers and also make it easy to vandalize the towers and lines underscoring the need for emergency procurement,” he said.
