The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has initiated the Ibeju-Lekki Power System Improvement Project, aiming to enhance power supply in the Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos State.
The project according to a statement by Ndidi Mbah, GM TCN, was launched at a meeting held on January 19, 2026, at the Lagos State Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, attended by key stakeholders, including the Lagos State Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and the FGN Power Company.
The meeting, chaired by Honourable Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Mr. Biodun Ogunleye, discussed project timelines, stakeholder coordination, and strategies to address potential implementation challenges. TCN’s General Manager (Transmission), Engr. Mojeed Akintola, led the TCN team, emphasizing the importance of collaboration to ensure timely project delivery and improved power supply.
This project is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s power infrastructure, particularly in Lagos, where rapid urbanization has put pressure on existing power systems. The Ibeju-Lekki area has been a focus of recent power development initiatives, including the Light-Up Ibeju-Lekki programme, which aims to provide solar power to homes and businesses.
