- Ekpo praised Jennifer Adighije’s leadership for accelerating reforms within NDPHC.
- NDPHC reforms support Nigeria’s industrialisation and the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Nigeria’s electricity sector continues to gain momentum through focused leadership and institutional reform. The Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) power sector reforms have drawn national attention for their speed and impact. Recently, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), Dr Ekperikpe Ekpo, publicly commended the Managing Director of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company, Engineer Jennifer Adighije. His remarks highlighted renewed confidence in Nigeria’s power generation landscape.
Dr Ekpo delivered his commendation during the twentieth anniversary celebration of NDPHC. During the event, he praised the depth and direction of reforms under Adighije’s leadership. He noted that her performance has been both inspiring and reassuring for the sector. Notably, he stressed that visible progress within a short period reflects strategic clarity and execution discipline.
According to the Minister, Adighije’s achievements align strongly with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda. Consequently, he reaffirmed that electricity reliability remains central to Nigeria’s industrial growth. Without stable power, industrialisation stalls and household welfare declines. Therefore, improvements within NDPHC signal positive change for the broader economy.
Dr Ekpo also expressed satisfaction with the quality of leadership within the organisation. He acknowledged the collective efforts of NDPHC’s management team. In addition, he praised the Vice President for providing strong board-level oversight. As a result, institutional coordination within the company continues to improve.
Meanwhile, Engineer Jennifer Adighije used the occasion to address Nigerians directly. In her New Year message, she called for unity, optimism, and sustained stakeholder collaboration. She expressed confidence that Nigerians would soon experience a more dependable electricity supply. This optimism reflects the direction of ongoing NDPHC power sector reforms.
Furthermore, Adighije reaffirmed NDPHC’s commitment to efficient power generation. She described generation efficiency as a critical pillar of a resilient electricity value chain. Therefore, she emphasised the need for cooperation among the government, private investors, host communities, and citizens. When stakeholders align, reform outcomes accelerate and endure.
She also urged Nigerians to support the President’s vision for a revitalised power sector. According to her, such support represents an investment in shared national prosperity. As reforms deepen, NDPHC aims to deliver sustainable electricity that supports homes, businesses, and industries. Consequently, power generation remains a foundation for economic stability and social progress.
Overall, the commendation reflects growing confidence in institutional reform within Nigeria’s power sector. Strong leadership, policy alignment, and collaboration continue to drive results. As momentum builds, the industry moves closer to delivering reliable electricity nationwide.
