Managing Director and CEO of ANED, Sunday Oduntan, delivered the apology during an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, acknowledging the hardship caused by the prolonged blackouts. Oduntan criticized the ongoing blame game among various stakeholders in the electricity sector, including distribution companies (DisCos), transmission operators (TCN), generation companies (GenCos), and gas suppliers, which he said had characterized the industry between 2016 and 2019.",
