The Transmission Company of Nigeria announced on Thursday that
the board of the African Development Bank has approved its $210m
NTEP-1 projects.
The TCN said the transmission projects were approved in a board
resolution on Wednesday in AfDB Headquarters, Abidjan.
The Nigeria Transmission Expansion Programme is one of the
projects under the Transmission Rehabilitation and Expansion
Programme financed by the AfDB that is targeted at rehabilitating
and expanding parts of the transmission grid in the North West,
South South and the South East, according to a statement.
The TCN said the project would reconstruct old transmission
lines and build new ones as well as construct new substations,
contributing to further increase its transmission capacity.
The General Manager (Public Affairs), Ndidi Mbah, said even
though the approval had just been given, the company had already
concluded environmental studies and the report had been submitted
to the AfDB.
She said the studies included a Resettlement Action Plan in
which people that would be affected by the acquisition of the Right
of Way for the proposed transmission lines were identified.
