President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Monday, sacked the Managing Director/Chief Executive Office, Mr Chiedu Ugbo, after eight years in office.
Ugbo, a lawyer, was appointed in June 2016, in an acting capacity but later confirmed as a substantive Managing Director in August 2016.
Tinubu in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Chief Ajuri Ngelale, also appointed Engineer Jennifer Adighije to replace Ugbo.
The new NDPHC Chief Executive Officer, Adighije, according to the statement, is an experienced engineer with vast competencies across management functions in the private and public sectors.
She holds a master’s degree in Wireless Networks & Telecommunications from Queen Mary University of London, UK, and a bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering from the University of Lagos, Nigeria.
The president also appointed six Executive directors to serve as new management members of NDPHC.
The newly appointed EDs are; Engineer Abdullahi Kassim — Executive Director (Generation);
Engineer Bello Babayo Bello — Executive Director (Networks);
Mr. Emmmanuel Umeoji — Executive Director (Corporate Services);
Mr. Omololu Agoro — Executive Director (Finance & Accounts);
Engineer Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama — Executive Director (Strategy & Commercial); and
Barrister Steven Andzenge — Executive Director (Legal Services).
Tinubu, however, tasked the new members of the management of the company to deploy their expertise and experience to drive NDPHC’s mandate of effectively managing the National Integrated Power Projects (NIPP).
