TCN Constitutes Committee On Power

Mr Akinwumi Bada, the Chief Executive Officer of Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), on Monday constituted a Grid Stability Committee (GSC) to ensure prompt response to power problems, a statement said.

The statement, issued by Mr Dave Ifabiyi, the Assistant General Manager of the company, said members of the committee were engineers drawn from eight transmission regions.

It said three members of the committee would be sent to countries with similar power problems with Nigeria to enable them to understudy their power projects.

It said the decision was part of the resolutions made by the management at a two-day strategic management retreat in Kaduna.

“The major thrust of the new management of TCN is to make use of available resources to ensure stability and efficient service delivery.

“TCN is working hard at expanding the transmission network to successfully wheel the expected increase in electricity generation from the National Integrated Power Plants (NIPPs) and other power plants in the country,’’ it said.

The company assured the public of its preparedness to efficiently distribute power from generating stations to consumers.
