The Senate Committee on Privatisation has commended Eko Electricity Distribution Plc (EKEDP) for its improved operational performance since the privatisation of Nigeria’s power sector, while pledging to push for solutions to persistent challenges undermining electricity distribution across the country.
During an oversight visit to EKEDP’s headquarters in Marina, Lagos, the Committee reviewed the company’s operational performance, financial position and the broader challenges confronting the electricity distribution segment.
The nine-member delegation, led by the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Privatisation, Senator Shuaibu Isa Lau, was received by the EKEDP management team led by the Managing Director, Distribution, Transgrid Enerco Limited, Mr. Wola Joseph Condotti.
Presenting the company’s performance, EKEDP said it had recorded significant improvements since taking over operations following the 2013 privatisation exercise.
