Science students of Divine Wisdom Educational Institute, Benin City, gained firsthand insight into Nigeria’s electricity transmission system during educational tour of a Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) substation in the Benin Transmission Region on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
Led by their Physics teacher, Mr. Meshack Odjugo, the students toured the facility alongside TCN engineers, who introduced them to critical equipment, including transformers, switchgears, circuit breakers and transmission towers.
They also learned about the personal protective equipment used by engineers and the strict health and safety rules guiding operations within the substation.
Principal Manager, Transmission, Engr. Matthew Ealefoh, and his team explained TCN’s role in Nigeria’s electricity value chain and responded to the students’ questions about the station’s daily operations.
The school management thanked TCN for the opportunity, noting that the exposure would inspire the students to pursue careers in electrical engineering and other energy-related fields.
