The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), through its Anti-Corruption and Transparency Unit (ACTU), has unveiled its Anti-Corruption Policy Document as part of efforts to strengthen transparency, accountability, integrity and ethical conduct across the Company.

The document was unveiled on September 22, 2026, at the TCN Corporate Headquarters, Maitama, Abuja.

Speaking at the occasion, TCN Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Sule Ahmed Abdulaziz, represented by the Executive Director, Human Resources and Corporate Services, Mrs. Abiodun Afolabi-Fadahunsi, described the initiative as a significant step towards reinforcing the Company's commitment to ethical standards and zero tolerance for corrupt practices.

He said TCN's credibility depends not only on what it achieves but also on how it achieves it, urging staff to familiarise themselves with the policy document and reflect its provisions in their daily decisions and conduct.

Abdulaziz commended the TCN ACTU and all those who contributed to the development of the document, noting that its objective goes beyond preventing corrupt practices to fostering a culture of honesty, fairness, accountability, transparency and professionalism.

He called on staff to support the effective implementation of the policy and uphold its principles in the discharge of their responsibilities.

Earlier, the Chairman of ACTU, TCN, Mrs. E. Benibo, in her welcome address, said the unveiling was more than the presentation of a policy document, describing it as a demonstration of the collective commitment of management and staff to strengthening integrity, transparency and accountability.

Presenting an overview of the policies, the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) representative and ACTU Desk Officer attached to TCN, Mrs. Monsurat Ajoke Ifeajika, highlighted the significance of the document in influencing conduct, guiding decisions and strengthening institutional systems.
