July 1, 2025 will remain a day to remember in the annals of the Nigerian Electricity Sector Industry, NESI. For it is the day the management of the Nigerian Independent System Operator, NISO, unveiled its corporate vision and mission statements, logo, core values and other corporate brand identities for which it would be known, recognized and judged.

In his address before the unveiling of corporate identities, the MD, Bello Mohammed said, “Today guymarks a deeper alignment between our identity, our mandate, and our moment in Nigeria's electricity history.

“Every great institution has a moment when it defines itself clearly, boldly, and unapologetically. This is that moment for NISO.”

He went on to describe how NISO would operate independently, “It means we coordinate the grid without bias. We make market decisions without fear or favour. It means we plan for the future, not just respond to emergencies. It means we exist to serve all participants in the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry; DisCos, GenCos, eligible customers and other market participants fairly. professionally and transparently.

“Our logo represents energy flow, and balance. It reflects structure. It reflects motion. And above all, it reflects control.

“Our mission is clear and unambiguous; to manage Nigeria's electricity grid with reliability, efficiency and transparency, enabling a sustainable and competitive power sector that drives economic growth and improves quality of life.

Our vision dares us to be bold: An established electricity market that empowers economic growth and sustainable energy for national development.

The company’s core values are; Integrity, Transparency. Sustainability,  Professionalism, Innovation, Collaboration, Reliability, Safety, Boldness and Neutrality.

Mohammed assured that “these are not decorative statements. They are the principles by which every one of us will be evaluated. They will shape our decisions, our leadership style, our relationships, and our legacy.”

“We intend to deepen our participation globally, with partners like the West African Power Pool, where we contribute not just as observers, but as allies in regional electricity planning. Our site engagements especially recently of the SCDA/EMS project and the level of completion with site inspections of Gwagwalada and Katampe substations reflect a management team that is not content with boardroom assumptions, we go and see for ourselves.”

Other members of the management team, the executive directors spoke on the brand identities and urged all NISO staff to imbibe the values of these identities and live them in their activities and engagements as NISO brand ambassadors.
