Mr Sule Abdulaziz, Acting Managing Director, Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), has urged management staff to develop spirit of team work and synergy towards sustaining the company’s milestones in power transmission.
TCN’s General Manager, Public Affairs, Mrs Ndidi Mbah, made this known in a statement in Abuja on Thursday.
Abdulaziz gave the charge while addressing Executive Directors, General Managers as well as Regional Heads of TCN, at the opening session of the company’s management retreat in Akwa Ibom State.
Speaking on the theme, ‘Managing Change in a Renewed Organisation’, he said the retreat was aimed at achieving the strategic objective of giving TCN a new direction.
According to him, this was to enable TCN occupy its pride of place within the context of the electricity market, in the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI) and the West African sub-region.
” So much change has occurred both in our organisation and the marketplace that requires us to redouble our efforts to ensure that we move TCN to the next level in operational efficiency.
“This is more important at a time when President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration is working to reverse the deficit in power supply, ” he said.
He, however, commended the management staff for their collective contributions toward achieving the modest milestones TCN has recorded so far.
He said: “Together, we have expanded TCN’s capacity and also brought a measure of stability and discipline to the grid.
“We have substantially upgraded our facilities and can evacuate more bulk electricity to distribution load centres nationwide,” he said.
Abdulaziz said the team must not rest on its oars, as there was much more to be done.
He charged every participant to continue to work hard as emerging challenges would constantly task staff capacity to innovate.
“High on my expectations is also the building of a team that will not only appreciate the benefits of teamwork but also embrace high management performance through facilitation, communication, and collaborative relationships.
