The Senior Staff Association of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has hailed the reappointment of Engr. Sule Ahmed Abdul-Aziz as Managing Director by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, emphasizing his transformative impact on Nigeria’s electricity sector and lauding the President for the decision.
Mr. Solomon Kigbo, representing the association, said TCN under Engr. Abdul-Aziz has shown “remarkable dedication to strengthening the backbone of electricity delivery across Nigeria.” He noted that despite the sector’s complex infrastructure demands and growing energy needs, the company has made consistent progress, embracing innovation and resilience.
Kigbo highlighted TCN’s major achievements, including the expansion and modernization of the national grid. “Through strategic investments in transmission lines, substations, and advanced technologies, the company has improved the stability and reliability of power supply nationwide,” he stated. He added that these efforts have reduced system disruptions and enhanced the efficiency of electricity distribution companies relying on TCN’s network.
He further praised the company’s commitment to infrastructure development, citing upgrades to aging equipment and the construction of new transmission corridors as proactive measures to meet Nigeria’s growing energy demands.
Public affairs analyst Alhaji Usman Abdullahi noted TCN’s focus on human capital development. “By investing in staff training, capacity building, and technical expertise, the organization has fostered a workforce capable of meeting modern energy challenges,” he said, adding that professionalism and continuous improvement have translated into better service delivery and operational excellence.
Barrister Abubakar Usman, leader of the Nigeria Youth Patriotic Front, lauded TCN’s adoption of modern technologies and international best practices. Speaking to journalists in Lagos, he said these measures have improved grid management, system monitoring, transparency, and overall performance. He described TCN as a “shining example of commitment and progress within the nation’s power sector” and praised President Tinubu for appointing a “first-class material” to lead the country’s electricity sector.
Meanwhile, Comrade Williams Asukwo, chairman of the Nigerian Project Initiative, called on critics of the reappointment to set aside differences and join efforts in strengthening Nigeria’s power infrastructure. “Yes, there must be opposition, but what is better than cooperation and understanding?” he said, urging all stakeholders to unite for a reliable and robust electricity network.
The reappointment of Engr. Sule Ahmed Abdul-Aziz, combined with widespread praise for his leadership and TCN’s achievements, reflects public confidence in both the Managing Director and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s decision to retain a leader capable of advancing a stable and reliable power supply for Nigerians.
