The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN has revealed Nigeria supplies steady power to other countries.

While speaking during the Channels TV’s Politics Tonight program on Sunday, the Managing Director and CEO of the agency, Sule Abdulaziz noted that Nigeria supplies 24-hour electricity to neighboring countries – Togo and Benin.

“We supply Togo, Benin, and Niger. They get power from Nigeria on a 24-hour basis, and they are paying for it,”

While also speaking on why Nigerians do not enjoy this same type of I interrupted power supply, he said;

“Nigerians are getting 24-hour supply, but it’s not everyone. Those in Band A receive 20-22 hours of power supply.”

While also speaking on his optimistic vision of the future of the country’s power supply, he said a great feat can be achieved in five years.

“I am telling you we can get consistent power supply in less than five years. The new minister is looking at the problems, he is not doing cosmetic showdowns,”

He emphasised that system collapses do not necessarily originate from the TCN.

“If there is a system collapse, it doesn’t mean all the problems are from TCN, it can be from generation, it can be from transmission it can be from distribution. Some of these can also come from disaster. You cannot say it is the fault of the TCN just like that. TCN are in charge of managing the grid,” he added

The Band A customers are prioritised for 20-24 hours of electricity, Band B customers get 16-20 hours, and Band C customers receive 12-16 hours of power each day.
