France has reaffirmed commitment to boosting electricity transmission in Nigeria.
Mr Guillaume Audren de Kerdrel, Deputy Ambassador of France, made the commitment to improving on the electricity transmission in Nigeria, particularly in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
Mr Kerdrel made this known at the official ground breaking ceremony of the Abuja feeding scheme which comprised three hundred and thirty KV and one hundred and thirty-two KV transmission lines on yesterday in Abuja.
The event was organised by the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN and funded by Agence Francaise de Development, AFD.
The deputy ambassador said that the AFD’s commitment was to improve the everyday life of people both in the developing and emerging countries of the world.
According to him, the supply of quality electricity is the profound aspiration of Nigerians across the country, especially in the FCT.
Mr Kerdrel said that the issue about sustaining cities had become a thing of concern that would be discussed at the forthcoming African/France summit to hold in June 2020 in France.
Mr Louis Edozien, the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, commended the partnership between TCN and AFD, saying it was apt in tackling electricity problems in the country.
