The items include transformers, cables, switchgear and other materials meant to strengthen the national grid.
Minister of Power Joseph Tegbe confirmed the development and said that engineers will inspect, test and refurbish the equipment before deploying them to complete stalled transmission projects and reinforce weak parts of the grid.
The clearance followed President Bola Tinubu’s directive after the minister raised the issue.
The Ministry of Finance waived the accumulated charges that kept the containers locked up, while Customs, NPA, terminal operators and the Transmission Company of Nigeria worked together to release them.
Tegbe called it an important first step and promised updates on the remaining two hundred plus (200+) containers still at the ports. Officials say most of the recovered items are still usable and will help improve electricity supply once installed.
