Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the renewal of Engr. Sule Ahmed Abdulaziz’s appointment as the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) for a second and final term.
The renewal follows a comprehensive assessment of his performance and leadership of the nation’s transmission network.
Under his stewardship, TCN has recorded notable improvements in grid stability, expansion of transmission capacity, and system modernisation—further strengthening its critical role in Nigeria’s electricity value chain.
Engr. Abdulaziz brings over three decades of experience in the power sector and has also enhanced regional electricity integration through his leadership in the West African Power Pool (WAPP).
In a related development, President Tinubu has appointed Professor Shu’aibu Shehu Aliyu as the Executive Secretary of the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF).
He succeeds Ahmed Galadima Aminu, who recently resigned to pursue the 2027 governorship election in Adamawa State.
