The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Osogbo Region, and the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) have resolved to strengthen operational collaboration to improve electricity supply and service delivery across their areas of operation.
The resolution followed a visit by an IBEDC delegation to the TCN Regional Office in Osogbo.
According to a statement on Monday, the delegation, led by the newly appointed Regional Head of IBEDC's New Osun Office, Mr Oluwasogo Olufayo, discussed the company's newly established Business Hubs in New Osun and New Oyo, as well as strategies for improving operational cooperation with TCN.
Speaking during the meeting, TCN General Manager, Osogbo Region, Engr. S.A. Asinmi, emphasised the need for closer coordination, particularly in handling outage requests to ensure effective maintenance, strengthen network reliability and improve electricity supply.
He called for sustained cooperation between both organisations to minimise operational challenges and enhance service delivery to electricity consumers.
In his response, Olufayo reaffirmed IBEDC's commitment to maintaining a strong partnership with TCN through coordinated operations and improved communication.
The collaboration is expected to support more efficient network management and improve electricity distribution across the region.
