The Abuja Power & Energy Correspondents (APEC) has thrown its weight behind the reappointment of Engr.Sule Abdulaziz as Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), urging him to sustain ongoing reforms in the country’s power sector.
President Bola Tinubu recently approved Abdulaziz’s reappointment for another four-year term, a move APEC described as well-deserved and critical to maintaining momentum in the transmission subsector.
In a statement jointly signed by its Chairman, Emmanuel Onotevure, and Secretary, Raphael Ekpang, the group commended Abdulaziz’s leadership, noting measurable improvements recorded during his previous tenure.
APEC said the TCN boss had demonstrated “exemplary leadership, professionalism, and steadfast commitment to strengthening Nigeria’s power transmission infrastructure.”
The correspondents highlighted key achievements under his leadership, including improved grid stability and the execution of major transmission expansion projects, which they said have repositioned the Transmission Company of Nigeria as a central player in the power sector.
According to the statement, “the renewed mandate reflects the confidence reposed in his capacity to deliver, while also underscoring the importance of continuity in sustaining the ongoing transformation of the transmission subsector.”
While congratulating Abdulaziz, the group stressed the need for him to deepen ongoing reforms and maintain the current pace of progress.
“We are confident that under his continued leadership, the Transmission Company of Nigeria will record even greater milestones, enhance operational efficiency, and contribute significantly to Nigeria’s socio-economic development,” the statement read.
APEC also urged the TCN chief to strengthen collaboration with stakeholders and drive innovation across the sector to address lingering challenges in electricity transmission.
The correspondents expressed optimism that Abdulaziz’s second tenure would consolidate existing gains and further stabilise Nigeria’s power grid, a critical component of the nation’s energy value chain.
