 SDP PARLEYS MEDIA AHEAD OF 2027 GENERAL ELECTIONS  The Social Democratic Party, SDP has disassociated itself from those calling for the rescheduling of the 2027 general elections due to the confirmed case of Ebola in Nigeria. A statement by the Presidential candidate of the Party, Prince Adewole Adebayo indicates that just one case of the disease recorded is not enough to cancel or reschedule the election that is already at hand, as the situation is not yet a pandemic. He explains that the country has the ability to take care of the situation. The statement further encourages the media to be as independent and unbiased as possible in reporting the forthcoming general election. It emphasises the media's role in sustaining democratic governance in the country. The SDP Presidential candidate encourages media practitioners to get acquainted with the party's manifesto and enlighten the public adequately, enabling them to actively engage the party during campaigns.

           The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola today commissioned two 100MVA, 132/33kV Transformers in Katampe and Apo in the Federal Capital Territory.
Speaking at the commissioning, the Minister said that the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has in the last 2 years grown its capacity, so that it is now able to transmit the entire 7,000MW capacity of Nigeria's Gencos. Today, TCN capacity expanded even further with commissioning of two 100MVA, 132/33kV Transformers in Katampe and Apo in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) respectively. The installation of the two 100MVA, 132/33kV Transformers each at Apo and Katampe, will increase the total wheeling capacity of TCN, which was last simulated in December 2017, to slightly above 7,000MW.
With the commissioning of the Transformers, these areas will experience improved power supply: Gwarinpa, Life Camp, Jabi, Kado, Wuye, Maitama, Mpape, Katampe 1 & II, Jahi, Mabushi Garki, Gudu, Guzape, Asokoro, Apo Resettlement, Wumba, Apo Mech Village, part of Lugbe, & NAIA. TCN also has advertised for upgrading of the capacity of Central Area 132/33kV Substation. This project is part of Nigerian Electricity Transmission Project (NETAP) financed by World Bank as a successor to Nigeria Electricity and Gas Improvement Project (NEGIP).
TCN is also implementing the Abuja Transmission Scheme (ATS) financed by Agence Francaise De Development (AFD). The procurement process for the projects under the scheme has reached an advanced stage. Five new Substations and a third 330kV transmission line into Abuja in addition to Shiroro-Abuja and Ajaokuta-Abuja 330kV transmission line will be constructed as part of ATS. Two of the new Stations 330/132/33kV Substations under ATS will be sited at the West Main (Lugbe) and New Apo, while the three new 132/33kV substations will be sited at Lokogoma, Kuje and Gwarinpa. They are expected to cater for the transmission needs of Abuja for a long while.As part of a collaboration between Nigeria and the Government of Japan, Capacitor Banks worth over $10 million are being installed at Apo and Keffi substations. The Capacitor Bank in Apo, rated 22.5MVar is currently 80% completed. It will significantly improve the quality of power supply from Apo substation. The same collaboration is expected to also completely rehabilitate Apapa, Akangba, Isolo and Ikeja West Substations in Lagos.
