In furtherance to its mandate of connecting the whole nation to the national grid as well as improving its wheeling capacity, Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, yesterday, commissioned its first offshore substation in Ilashe Island, Oriade Local Government Development Area, LCDA, in Lagos State. The project, being the first offshore based project wholly executed by TCN engineers in Nigeria, will deliver about 24 Megawatts, MW, power to Ilashe, Ibese, Ikare, Igbologun and Ilado Odo communities. Speaking during the commissioning, of a brand new 1x30MVA/132/33KV transmission Substation, Minister for Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, said: “To connect electricity over the lagoon was handled by staff in TCN while making adequate efforts not to interfere with the natural navigation over the lagoon. “What we expect is reduced cost of doing business and less usage of generators, under the franchise of Eko Distribution Company because we have introduced a transmission handshake, and we expect to see reduced cost of business.” The minister also noted that President Muhammadu Buhari has approved 108 meter suppliers and installers, calling on the Eko Distribution Company to immediately supply prepaid meters to the community, It was gathered that TCN through the support of the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, in December 2017, decided to site a 132/33kv substation at Ilashe, Kobena, in Oriade Local Council Development Area of Lagos State. TCN also noted that the location of Ilashe and its sister communities, between the Lagoon and the ocean make it a prime candidate for expansion and growth of tourism in Lagos State, and Nigeria in general, provided there is adequate power supply. “In December, 2017, the General Manager (Transmission), Lagos Region of TCN, Engr. Geoffrey Nwokeye, inaugurated a Taskforce of In-House Engineers headed by Engr. L.I. Adebola. “The Taskforce was given November 2018, delivery timeline for completion of the green-field Ilashe 132/33kV Substation. The Taskforce immediately commenced the design of the substation and regularization of all papers for the land donated to TCN by Ilashe Community.” Meanwhile, the Managing Director, TCN, Gur Muhammed said that, “TCN used to be the weakness link in the power value chain, we are not saying we have solved our problems, but we have plans on how to solve the problems. “The projects was done by TCN engineering staff, when we asked some contractor for an estimate for this project, we were given over one billion. However, the project was completed and commissioned with just N150 million. On his part, Oba Abdulfatai Adisa, the royal majesty of Ilashe said: “I do not know that this will be possible. Even after approving three hectare of land to them, I thought it will take 10 years when it started. “This is a good development to my community and we are thoroughly happy that we can finally see electricity in our homes.” https://www.vanguardngr.com/2019/02/electricity-tcn-commissions-first-offshore-substation/ 7 Likes 1 Share |

In term of power supply, I will rate fashola 20/100. He has totally failed, I don't understand why he can't give an order of "No prepaid meter no money should be paid to the discos". Estimated billing is the biggest bullshit I've ever heard in my life... How can private companies be cheating Nigerians yet the Federal government and the minister in charge is not taking a very strong step against it Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria, when we start coming out to protest madly like it's done in sane climes, then we will start seeing changes. If it was in an European country the discos are trying this nonsense estimated billing there would have been a mad protest that will shake the government/country... Look at what happened in France how can places where they hardly have light for up to 7 hours in a day be paying 10k in a month is that not madness and some other people pay more than 10k. When will Nigerians start fighting for their right? 14 Likes 1 Share |

Nice development though over here in Port harcourt we have light for maximum of 7hours every week. That's quite very poor |

Fashola is just too focused, even during campaigns he is busy with his works. Saraki and his Senators, tried fustrating him through budget cuts, but he had other funding plans through sukuk bonds and tax waivers for company willing to fund infastructural project And to the morons who think 24megawatts substation is too small. Isn't it based on the community needs that the installed capacity is determined 16 Likes 2 Shares |

What else do you demand from a Buhari. This guy has outrightly performed well. If PDP started at his pace, we can never be where we are today. The man has tried. Better option than the Atiku that's boasting about mortgaging our future in the name of privatization. Desperate to continue from where he stopped as a Vice President. Buhari we never might appreciate today, but the future will write his name in platinum plaques. Even in as much as we condemn Babangida, what he achieved as an Head of State, Democracy has not achieved it since 1999. #Facts 18 Likes 3 Shares |
