Some top management staff of the Electricity Distribution Companies (DISCOs) weekend blamed the ongoing nationwide epileptic power supply on the inability of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) to meet energy demands.
The officials, who pleaded anonymity, gave the blame in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
According to them, most DISCOs have been trapped in poor service delivery by the TCN which has significantly reduced power supply to consumers.
They alleged that the situation had drastically reduced the revenue base of the DISCOs as well as sabotaging their supply capacities to end users.
They blamed the development on “poor fault clearance by the transmission company, owing to poor financing and bureaucracy in maintaining some of the equipment.
