The Federal Government says it has recovered 98 containers of electricity transmission equipment that had been stranded at Nigerian ports for up to 20 years.

Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, disclosed this in Lagos, saying the recovered equipment includes transformers, cables and switchgear, out of more than 300 containers awaiting clearance.

He said the equipment would be tested, refurbished where necessary and deployed to strengthen the national grid, ease pressure on overloaded substations and improve electricity supply across the country.
