The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Sule Abdulaziz, has pledged to deliver a results-driven second term focused on improving bulk power delivery and strengthening the nation’s transmission network.

The TCN General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, in a statement on Thursday night said Mr Abdulaziz made the pledge on Wednesday during the first Town Hall Meeting with staff at TCN Corporate Headquarters, Abuja.

Earlier in the month, President Bola Tinubu renewed Mr Abdulaziz’s appointment for a second and final term.

The presidency said the renewal of Mr Abdulaziz’s appointment follows a comprehensive assessment of his performance and leadership of the nation’s transmission network.

Under his stewardship, TCN has recorded notable improvements in grid stability, transmission capacity expansion, and system modernisation, reinforcing its critical role in Nigeria’s electricity value chain.

Addressing management and staff of TCN, he described the reappointment as “a call to greater responsibility” aligned with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda for the power sector.

“That agenda is clear: to implement practical, measurable, and sustainable reforms that will significantly improve power delivery and ensure that the electricity sector becomes viable, reliable, and beneficial to all Nigerians,” he said.

He thanked the management team, union leadership, and members of staff for their support, dedication, and collaboration in positioning TCN as a leading transmission company.

He noted that the achievements recorded by TCN are not accidental but the result of staff hard work, dedication, and resilience.

“In this new phase, we intend to go a step further. Our goal is simple, to work together as partners in driving the growth, stability, and success of this company.

“Infrastructure growth must now translate into what matters most to Nigerians, stable, reliable, and consistent bulk supply of electricity that would be delivered to distribution load centers for onward delivery to their customers,” he added.
