Nigeria Supplies 24-Hour Electricity to Benin, Niger, Togo

By   Milcah   Tanimu

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) announced that Nigeria provides 24-hour electricity to neighboring countries, including Togo, Benin Republic, and Niger.

In an interview on Channels TV’s **Sunday Politics**, Sule Abdulaziz, the CEO of TCN, confirmed that some Nigerians also enjoy 24-hour power supply.

“We supply Togo, Benin, and Niger. Yes, they receive power from Nigeria around the clock, and they are paying for it,” he said.

He added that while not all Nigerians benefit from continuous supply, many in Band A receive between 20 to 22 hours of electricity daily.

“Every electricity distribution company (DisCo) has Band A as a priority, aiming to provide their customers with about 22 to 24 hours of electricity,” Abdulaziz explained. He noted that regulators mandate DisCos to deliver “between 18 hours and 22 hours” of service.

Abdulaziz also addressed the issue of national grid collapses, stating that TCN does not bear sole responsibility.

“Collapses can stem from generation, transmission, or distribution. Some may result from disasters. If any system collapse occurs, we conduct studies to identify the cause,” he said.

On October 13, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) reported that international customers owe N9.41 billion for electricity supplied in the second quarter (Q2) of 2024.
