The Federal Ministry of Power secured the release of 98 out of 300 transmission equipment containers that had been stranded at Nigerian ports for as long as 20 years. This equipment, which includes high-capacity transformers, cables, and switchgear, was procured to expand the national transmission network. The clearance followed a directive from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
