There is no gainsaying the fact that Nigeria’s electricity supply recently hit the runway with an impressive performance as attested
to by some Welders in Bwari Local Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), who with upwelling excitement informed SHARPEDGENews Online that in a long time they have now been able to deliver their jobs to customers and clients without disappointment.
The optimism of Mr. Abu Lucky on the recent quarterly trajectory of power supply across the country finds expression in disclosure by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), that Nigerian Power industry has achieved yet another improved all-time national peak of 5,420.30MW, which was effectively transmitted through the national grid at a frequency of 50.10Hz at 9:15pm, since August 18th.
According to the General Manager, Public Affairs of TCN, Mrs. Ndidi Mbah, this is the highest ever recorded in the nation’s power sector to-date, surpassing the previous peak of 5,377.80MW recorded on the 1st of August, 2020, by 42.50MW.
She said: “The gradual but steady improvement in electricity delivery in the nation’s power sector is attributable to the keen interest of the current administration of President Mohammadu Buhari in piloting programmes and projects geared towards growing the power sector as well as the collective effort of all power sector players in the value chain.”
TCN, according to her, is committed to working assiduously to further stabilize, rehabilitate and expand the grid and urge Nigerians to lend their support by safeguarding electricity installations nationwide.
