The Transmission Company of Nigeria, (TCN), has claimed neighbouring countries such as Niger, Togo and Benin Republic get uninterrupted power supply.
This was made known by TCN Chief executive officer, Sule Abdulaziz, while featuring on Channels Television’s programme, Sunday Politics.
According to him, electricity supply is consistent and stable in the West African countries.
Abdulaziz, however, added that despite the challenges in power generation and distribution in the country, Nigerians can testify that power supply has improved in Nigeria.

Speaking during the interview, he said,
“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.”
TheNiche had earlier reported that some parts of Nigeria experienced total blackout after the nation’s national grid collapsed for the third time in one week.
The latest incident occurred early Saturday morning, with many states reporting total blackouts.
