The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, says the country supplies 24-hour electricity to neighbouring countries such as Niger, Togo and Benin Republic.
He said the electricity supply are consistent and stable in those country despite the fact that Nigeria could not boast of constant supply of power.
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 suply power to Togo, Benin and Niger. We supply them power consistently. They get power from Nigeria on 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.”
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.
