Each of these individuals brings specialized expertise to their respective roles, forming a dynamic team poised to tackle the challenges facing the NDPHC.
President Tinubu has expressed high expectations for the new management team, urging them to leverage their extensive knowledge and experience to drive the NDPHC's mandate of efficiently managing the NIPP. With this new leadership in place, the administration is confident that significant strides will be made in addressing the power sector's longstanding issues, ultimately contributing to the nation's economic growth and development.
The appointment of this diverse and skilled team underscores the administration's commitment to prioritizing merit and capability in its efforts to enhance Nigeria's power infrastructure.
