The Transmission Company of Nigeria recorded 131 cases of infrastructure vandalism across its network in 2025, even as it achieved a historic milestone in electricity transmission, the company has said.
The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of TCN, Sule Abdulaziz, disclosed this in his end-of-year message to staff, partners, and stakeholders, in which he described 2025 as a “remarkable and historic year” for the company and Nigeria’s electricity industry.
Despite the challenges posed by vandalism and other operational constraints, Abdulaziz announced that TCN recorded an all-time peak electricity transmission of 5,801.84 megawatts on March 4, 2025. The achievement was accompanied by a maximum daily energy delivery of 128,370.75 megawatt-hours nationwide, the highest ever recorded on Nigeria’s national grid.
According to him, the milestone was driven by deliberate investments in infrastructure rehabilitation, expansion of transformer capacity, and sustained maintenance of transmission assets.
