The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN has promised a backup or buffer system to ensure that Nigerians won’t be thrown into blackout whenever the National grid collapses.

TCN Managing Director, Sule Abdulaziz, who stated this in Channels Television, blamed aged infrastructure as old as 50 years for the frequent grid collapses in the country.

The TCN boss said the investment in critical electricity generation and transmission infrastructure must be continuous, saying Nigerians are paying more for power because electricity production is not easy and Band A now enjoy 24- hour electricity, a claim many residents would contest.

Abdulaziz said despite the electricity tariffs hike, power in Nigeria has remained cheaper than what is obtainable in neigbouring Chad, Mali, Burkina Faso, and other African countries.
