The Federal Government commissions upgraded transmission substations in Ijora and Apapa in Lagos, adding 208 megawatts (MW) of bulk transmission capacity to Nigeria’s national power grid. The work is described as a boost intended to strengthen electricity delivery and improve reliability for customers.
According to the reports, the upgrades involve transmission infrastructure within the Lagos area, including substations at Ijora and along Apapa Road. Vanguard says the commissioning takes place on Monday and is carried out by the Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe. Legit.ng frames the development as “good news” for residents, emphasizing enhanced capacity and improved grid performance.
