The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) says a severe rainstorm has led to the collapse of a transmission tower on the Ikeja west–Osogbo 330 kilovolt (kV) line in Lagos.
In a statement on Sunday, Ndidi Mbah, TCN’s general manager for public affairs, said the incident, which occurred on April 16, amounted to a force majeure event.
Force majeure is a contractual clause that frees a company from liability when an unexpected and uncontrollable event, such as war, pandemic or natural disasters, prevents it from fulfilling obligations.
