The President Buhari-led government has appointed Usman Gur Mohammed as the new interim Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN.
In a statement released by the Deputy Director Press in the ministry, Etore Thomas, the minister said the appointment was born out of the need to take the company to a higher level of operational effectiveness and to perform its functions optimally.
The minister confirmed the appointment when he appeared before the National Assembly Joint Committee on Power, Steel Development and Metallurgy.
The minister had appeared before the committee following petitions written to the Senate by Staff of TCN, under the umbrella of the National Association of Electricity and Allied Companies asking the Senate to intervene.
The two committees had earlier stated that the National Assembly was not interested in dictating to the minister on how to run his Ministry, saying that they wanted to ensure that the rule of law was followed at all times, for the sake of accountability and transparency.
