The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has revealed that the country supplies 24-hour electricity to neighboring nations, including Niger, Togo, and the Benin Republic.
TCN noted that despite Nigeria’s struggles with consistent power supply, these countries continue to receive stable and reliable electricity.
TCN Chief executive officer, Sule Abdulaziz, who appeared on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics programme, said that Nigerians know there’s improvement in power supply now.
“We supply power to Togo, Benin, and Niger. We supply them with power consistently. They get power from Nigeria on a 24-hour basis and they’re paying.
“Nigerians are getting 24-hour electricity supply. Not everybody. Those people in Band A. You’ll see that they get 20-22 hours.
“Some Nigerians are getting 24 hours. Every distribution company has Band A and that is their priority.”
NIGPOST reports that the electricity sector in Nigeria generates, transmits and distributes megawatts(MW) of electric power that is significantly less than what is needed to meet basic household and industrial needs of the country.
