For nearly 20 years, over 300 containers of transmission equipment sat stranded at our ports. This equipment was bought to expand the network, relieve overloaded substations and bring more reliable electricity to Nigerians.
Yesterday, the Nigeria Customs Service approved the release of the first 98. Our engineers will now verify the equipment, test it and deploy it where it is needed most. That means completing stalled projects, easing pressure on overloaded substations and strengthening the grid.
This is a significant first step, and we are working to secure the release of the remaining 200+ containers without further delay.
We are grateful to His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for approving the release. We also thank the Comptroller-General and officers of the Nigeria Customs Service, the Honourable Minister of Finance, the Honourable Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, the Nigerian Ports Authority, the terminal operators and the TCN team for their support.
A stronger grid, one step at a time. π³π¬

Your analysis is flawed. If NG wants go adopt the model in question the two countries/region will engage jn trade. Each surviving with what they have. This is how it works and this is what constitutes world/international trade.
I was having a chat with a friend who thinks Nigeria is better off divided like North and South Korea.
I asked him a question
How do you intend the South would survive without food?
He had this confusing look on his face?
What do you mean the South can not survive without the North?
The South has land and young people we will farm and produce our own food.
I asked again...
With which land?
He said we have land now...
I told him no the South doesn't have enough land that will feed it's high population.
Also Southern youth aren't interested in agriculture compared to the North.
More than half of the food we eat in the south are from the North.
If you go to those states that borders the South and North (Abuja, Kogi, Kwara etc) you'll understand the amount of food haulage that happens every minute of everyday.
The South has oil, the north has food. We are so integrated we can't do without ourselves. We depend everyday on each other for survival.
We can only call for good leadership to bring out the best in our human and capital resources.
May God bless and keep Nigeria.
@z0xaH How is it not free speech for x to retain the right to reject them? Isn't the concept of free speech that everyone gets to exercise it. He is asking the question in a terrible way
Secondly because I had life hard doesn't mean everyone else around me should. Most things I see posted on X are just projections.
Being gracious isnt being stupid or nice.
