The Republic of Chad has requested for electric power supply from Nigerian Government.
The Chadian ambassador to Nigeria made the request during a visit to the Minister of Power supply Engr. Sale Mamman.
While the ambassador stressed the historical and economic value of connecting Chad to Nigeria’s electricity grid, the Minister of Power on his own part said it would help in enhancing the long existing relations between the two countries.
Mamman however approved the request, saying that Nigeria would evaluate it within the various projects under the Transmission Rehabilitation and Expansion Programme (TREP) for possible integration.
“I, therefore, direct the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) whose representatives are part of this meeting, to come up with a business case and implementation modalities. Based on that, we will write to the Presidency to secure all the necessary approvals, ” he said.
