Female staff of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) have been encouraged to elevate their professional presence through confidence, discipline, and continuous self-improvement, as part of efforts to strengthen their influence across the organisation.
The charge was delivered by Mrs Abiodun Afolabi Fadahunsi, Executive Director of Human Resources and Corporate Services, during TCN’s maiden all-female staff meeting held at its headquarters in Abuja on 28 April 2026.

“Enhancing our professional presence is not about competition, but about strengthening our collective impact,” she said, stressing that excellence and reliability must remain non-negotiable.
The meeting featured a range of expert insights aimed at empowering female staff across technical and administrative roles.
