In spite of the persistent power sector-wide challenges, the management of NDPHC led by Engr. Jennifer Adighije has recorded several operational and financial milestone achievements.
According to the release by GM External Communications, Emmanuel Ojor, these achievements include:
- recovery of 110 containers with critical turbine parts and HRSG components, abandoned at Onne Port for over nine years,
- commencement of the Light Up Nigeria – Agbara industrial cluster project to connect the Agbara Industrial Estate to the grid
- 10MW embedded solar project for an industrial area in Kano,
- Completion of key transmission and distribution projects in Borno and Delta States,
- completion of Afam–Ikot Ekpene 330kV double circuit transmission line.
Other success stories include recovery of over $10 million in legacy debts from bilateral customers, securing $15 million in insurance claims for the Alaoji plant fire incident, advanced engagements with NERC on recovering NDPHC’s investments in TCN’s transmission expansion projects, resolution of longstanding commercial issues with ACCUGAS, leading to an amendment of gas supply agreement which reduces government’s exposure.
To strengthen accountability and staff welfare, the management of NDPHC has also introduced a procurement benchmarking desk for streamlining procurement practices, Computer-Based Testing (CBT) for enhanced staff performance management, and a management support allowance to cushion the impacts of fuel subsidy removal.
Engr. Adighije reaffirmed NDPHC’s commitment to “restoring dormant capacity, stabilizing operations, and supporting Nigeria’s goal of a more reliable and sustainable power supply value chain.”
She said NDPHC’s management remains committed to transparency, accountability and constructive engagement with stakeholders in its quest for unlocking universal access to electricity for powering businesses and households across the country.
