The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has advanced reasons why Nigeria may continue to suffer power outages, urging the Federal Government to rescue the power sector and remedy the epileptic electricity supply in the country. ), Coordinator of ARDP, Usman Bugaje and others, he said the TCN has been generating enough power for distribution, but the DisCos could not meet supplies. “However, there is the hope of having uninterrupted power supply in the country, if the DisCos live up to expectation. “At that time, generation was around 3,500 megawatts just as distribution and transmission capacity was not more than 5,000 megawatts. Responding, Bugaje, pointed out that the Federal Government should live up to its responsibility by ensuring adequate provision of power, saying the country’s present economic downturn was caused by the poor power supply.
