The Federal executive Council has

approved 3.7 million Euros as contract variation for the

Transition Company of Nigeria.

The Minister of Power, Abubakar Aliyu made this known to

newsmen after the FEC meeting in Abuja.

The minister said the amount was meant for the procurement

of some equipment and to complete the construction of two

sub-stations that would help boost electricity supply in the

country.

The minister said the contracts started in 2006 but were

abandoned due to lack of budgetary provisions.
