Eko Electricity Distribution Company (Eko Disco) has confirmed Mrs Rekhiat Momoh as its substantive chief executive, following the redeployment of Mrs Tinuade Sanda to WPG Ltd, the core investor of the energy distribution company.
In March 2024, the Board of EKEDC announced the appointment of Mrs Momoh.
According to a statement by the company, Mrs Momoh, who hails from Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State, brings nearly three decades of experience in Nigeria’s power industry, having served across defunct the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) and the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), which now falls under the balkanised Eko Disco.
The statement said her extensive background spans commercial operations, marketing, distribution management, and customer service, earning her a reputation as a results-driven executive with deep institutional knowledge.
She has held several key roles within Eko Disco, including General Manager (Commercial), Assistant General Manager (Marketing), and District Manager for Orile, Mushin, and Apapa business units positions where she oversaw operational, financial, and commercial activities.
Under her supervision, the company achieved a notable reduction in Aggregate Technical, Commercial, and Collection (ATC&C) losses, dropping from 32.78 per cent in 2017 to 26.82 per cent in 2019.
Mrs Momoh earned her OND in Business Administration and HND in Marketing from Auchi Polytechnic in 1991, followed by an MBA in Marketing from Lagos State University. She is a Fellow of both the National Institute of Marketing of Nigeria (NIMN) and the Nigerian Institute of Management (NIM), recognised in 2019 and 2020, respectively.
