The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) says the country supplies electricity to neighboring nations such as Togo, Benin Republic and Niger Republic.
The Chief Executive Officer of Transmission company Sule Abdulaziz disclose this on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
“We supply Togo, we supply Benin and Niger,” he said.
“Yes, they get power from Nigeria on a 24-hour basis and they are paying,” TCN boss said.
Nigeria’s power sector has in the last week experienced a series of blackouts with the national grid collapsing thrice in seven days.
But Abdulaziz says some Nigerians are enjoying constant power supply especially those in Band.
“Nigerians are getting 24-hour supply; it’s not everybody. Those people that are in band A, you will see that they get 20 to 22 hours,” he said.
According to him, electricity distribution companies better known as DiScos prioritise those in Band A and are expected to supply them “between 18 hours and 22 hours” of electricity.
