Eko DisCo Appoints Mrs Momoh As New Acting MD/CEO, Sacks Sanda, Others From WPG Ltd

The board of Eko Electricity Distribution Company (Eko DisCo) has appointed Mrs Rekhiat Momoh as the Acting Chief Executive Officer (Acting CEO) with effect from Tuesday, March 26, 2024.

This simultaneously followed the relief of the post from  the erstwhile MD/CEO Mrs Tinuade Sanda, who was redeployed  back to WPG Ltd, the core investor who seconded her to Eko Disco.

Dr. Sanda was removed following directive from the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) that the DisCos should “ensure all existing WPG secondees involved in the loss of revenue to EKEDC in this matter are withdrawn back to WPG,” due to allegations of ghost workers in Eko DisCo which is alleged to be a drain on the revenue of the company.

A statement by the company states:
‘’We wish to inform the general public that Mrs Rekhiat Momoh has today 26th March, 2024 assumed the role of Acting CEO of Eko Disco.

‘’This follows the redeployment of our erstwhile MD/CEO Mrs Tinuade Sanda back to WPG Ltd, the core investor who seconded her to Eko Disco.

‘’Mrs Momoh has been in the power sector for more than 31 meritorious years. She has risen through the ranks in the power sector from the days of NEPA, PHCN and now Eko Disco, receiving several excellence awards, commendations and medals along the way.

‘’A marketer by training, she has an MBA from Lagos State University. She’s a fellow of several organisations including Nigeria Institute of Management, National Institute of Marketing of Nigeria and several others. She has attended several leadership and management courses and training programmes both locally and internationally.

‘’We have great confidence in her ability to perform this role effectively and take the company to greater heights.’’
