The Acting Chairman, Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Engr Sule Ahmed Abdulaziz, has stated that the power sector was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

He stated this at the 48th WAPP Executive Board Meeting held in Lome, Republic of Togo.
In a statement issued by the Company’s Spokesperson, Mrs Ndidi Mbah, on Thursday, in Abuja, the Chairman was quoted as saying that the pandemic has led to increasing unemployment and poverty thus preventing many from paying their electricity bills.
