Privatization concerns are sparked by a top management change at the TCN

Privatization concerns are sparked by a top management change at the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN). Although the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, said the appointment of an African Development Bank official, Usman Gur Mohammed, as the new Managing Director of TCN, was for efficiency and reform, the company’s workers, led by their two labour unions—the National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) and the Senior Staff Association of Electricity and Allied Companies (SSAEAC)— continue their protest against his appointment. They allege that Mohammed was at the TCN to help the government perfects its plan to privatize the TCN.
