TCN Employs 522 New Engineers by awodman: 8:37pm On Sep 22, 2013
In what is a major milestone towards tackling the challenge of electricity transmission in the country, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has received newly recruited 522 engineers from the Federal Ministry of Power.

It would be recalled that Chinedu Nebo, minister of power, had in August said the Federal Government had designated $1.6 billion for the expansion of power transmission facilities in the country.

With the increase in the engineering capacity of the TCN, which is saddled with the responsibility of electricity transmission between generation and distribution companies, Nigerians expect better management and maintenance of the nation’s transmission network and improved service delivery by the company.

Receiving the new employees in Abuja, Don Priestman, managing director and chief executive officer of TCN, expressed satisfaction that TCN is bringing in a crop of young and skilled people with the potential to keep the future of the company unfolding as it should.

While charging the new employees to be hard working, he said that TCN holds an extremely satisfying career path for young engineers.

since this company is involved in a very critical strategic national development sector, I hope that the engineers were picked BY MERIT not by some stupid quota system. I sincerely hope so!

Nigeria's problem in these types of sectors is not lack of skilled manpower or talent, but the evil of quota system.

HIRE THE BEST NIGERIANS.

True words my brother. The same thing is crippling our democracy where we practice zoning. Let each party field their BEST candidate and Nigerians will elect the best candidate.

Sacked thousands; paid them millions as Retirement benefits (with which they CAN invest in other businesses and employ others); create a new Private market which wud employ thousands more in d long run, esp new peeps; all in a bid to providing Reliable Power for Nigerians- the Ultimate joker for providing many many many substainable JOBS going further.....

I dont mean to burst your buble, indeed it was QUOTA SYSTEM AND NOT MERIT WAS USED. THIS IS AUTHORITATIVE. The politicians and top govt bureaucrats had their fair shares.

This is a complete crap as long as am concerned. Are the giving us a permanent solution to the nation's incessant power outage or a mere improvement? With a wopping $1.6 bn. How many much has this nation spend on power projects alone, yet, we still have nothing to show for it. Still moving in a whirl circle.

it is true, I am a corper with TCN, I don't know about the number though.

The guys they hired are mostly under some sort of training at the TCN, its a 1 year long training, so this recent set was luck they just absorbed them.
