Nigeria’s Transmission Company CEO, Sule Abdulaziz, Addresses 24-Hour Power Supply to Togo, Senegal

Despite recent power grid collapses, Nigeria’s Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) supplies electricity to Togo, Benin, and Niger on a 24-hour basis, with these countries paying for the service.

However, many Nigerians experience interrupted power supply due to the country’s tiered distribution system.

According to Abdulaziz, Nigeria’s electricity distribution is categorized into three tiers:

– Band A: 20-24 hours of power supply

– Band B: 16-20 hours

– Band C: 12-16 hours

Abdulaziz expressed optimism about achieving consistent nationwide electricity supply within five years, praising the new minister’s problem-solving approach.

He emphasized that system collapses often originate from generation and distribution issues, rather than TCN.

The TCN boss also highlighted infrastructure challenges, citing outdated equipment, most of which is over 50 years old. On electricity costs, Abdulaziz argued that Nigeria’s rates are relatively affordable.

During his appearance on Channels TV’s Politics Tonight, Abdulaziz clarified the distinction between TCN and the defunct National Electric Power Authority (NEPA), stressing that TCN only handles transmission, whereas NEPA managed generation, transmission, distribution, and marketing.
