According to him, since TCN took over the affairs of transmission, the company has done well in the area of procuring power for onward delivery to consumers.

He maintained that as a private organization, TCN would not compromise on standard, noting that the company is working 24 hours to ensure steady and adequate energy.

He said: “TCN has been working round the clock to fix the aging equipment in order to avoid disruption in the daily transmission of energy, adding that the company in collaboration with the World Bank had constructed a new 132 KV from Zungeru power station switch yard to Tegina, new control rooms at Shiroro, replaced over aged equipment at Jebba transmission station, and upgraded Minna sub- station with additional 132/33 KV 100MVA transformer.”

He further disclosed that during the period under review, TCN has made landmark achievements by decommissioning, installing and commissioning new six 330KV current transformer on bus coupler at Jebba T/S in January, 2023, as well as new 330KV circuit breaker on Jebba-Kainji.

Engineer Paiko while maintaining that there is no business without challenges, enumerated some of the challenges confronting the organization to include insecurity along Shiroro-Kaduna 330KV Lines, Shiroro-Kamtapa 330KV line, Gwagwalada 330KV line, Shiroro-Tegina 132KV line, as well as redial nature of Shiroro-Tegina-Kontagora-Yauri line, among others.

He hinted that plans are at advance stage for the construction of additional 330KV line from Shiroro-Kaduna and PLAN Turn -IN-TURN-OUT at Tegina T/S.

He attributed the successes recorded during the period under review to the unflinching support by the Federal Government under the dynamic leadership of President Bola Tinubu and the management of TCN for providing an enabling environment for officers to operate.
