Transcorp pushes for dominance in power sector

One of Nigeria’s largest conglomerates, Transnational Corporation Plc (Transcorp Group), has extended its tentacles in the nation’s electricity industry with the acquisition of 60 percent stake in the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC).

The Tony Elumelu-led Transcorp Group had last week set the power industry buzzing when it formally announced the acquisition of majority shares in AEDC.
