- NDPHC has completed the second phase of its 2026 Insurance Risk Engineering Survey to strengthen protection for the Omotosho and Sapele power plants.

Niger Delta Power Holding Company has taken further steps to safeguard critical generation infrastructure at its Omotosho and Sapele power plants following the completion of the second phase of its 2026 Insurance Risk Engineering Survey.
The company disclosed in a statement that the exercise, which concluded on Friday, represents another milestone in its drive toward operational excellence, asset integrity and enterprise-wide risk mitigation across its power generation portfolio.
According to the company, the survey forms part of a broader strategic collaboration with global insurance partners aimed at ensuring that key power assets meet international safety, reliability and risk management benchmarks.
The assessment covered multiple technical and operational dimensions, including equipment condition analysis, operational safety procedures, maintenance protocols and environmental risk exposure. The objective is to enhance plant availability while reducing operational disruptions and financial exposure.
Speaking during the post-assessment feedback session, Executive Director, Finance and Accounts, Mr Omololu Agoro, commended both the survey team and plant personnel for their professionalism and cooperation throughout the evaluation process.
Agoro noted that periodic risk engineering reviews are critical to protecting long-term infrastructure investments and sustaining reliable electricity generation in line with global industry standards.
He added that insights from the survey would feed directly into the company’s continuous improvement framework, particularly in areas such as maintenance optimisation, insurance risk profiling and generation reliability enhancement.
The company explained that the Omotosho and Sapele assessments form part of a wider risk engineering programme covering generation assets under the National Integrated Power Project (NIPP) nationwide.
NDPHC reaffirmed that sustained engagement with global technical and insurance partners remains central to its strategy of delivering dependable electricity supply while protecting infrastructure investments and strengthening stakeholder confidence across Nigeria’s power sector.
The session also featured a valedictory ceremony honouring Mr Mike Corbett of Zurich Insurance Group (UK), who is retiring after 13 years of service supporting NDPHC’s insurance risk management initiatives.
Management and staff commended Corbett for his technical expertise and contributions to strengthening risk engineering practices across multiple NDPHC plants, helping improve compliance with international insurance standards and reinforcing insurer confidence in the company’s assets.
