The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has revealed that Nigeria consistently provides a 24-hour electricity supply to neighboring countries, including Niger, Togo, and Benin Republic, despite the nation’s internal power challenges.
TCN’s CEO, Sule Abdulaziz, stated during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics program:
“We supply power to Togo, Benin, and Niger. We supply them power consistently. They get power from Nigeria on a 24-hour basis and they’re paying.”
Abdulaziz also highlighted that some Nigerians are benefiting from improved power supply:
“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.”
Despite these improvements, Nigeria’s power sector continues to struggle with generating, transmitting, and distributing enough electricity to meet the country’s demands.
