The Niger Delta Power Holding Company has urged Nigerians to remain hopeful, assuring that ongoing reforms in the power sector will translate into a more reliable and sustainable electricity supply across the country.
The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of NDPHC, Jennifer Adighije, gave the assurance in her New Year message, where she called for unity and collective resolve in support of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Adighije expressed confidence that with sustained commitment and cooperation, Nigerians would begin to experience tangible improvements in electricity supply, noting that efficient power generation remains critical to strengthening the nation’s electricity value chain.
She reaffirmed NDPHC’s dedication to its mandate, stressing that collaboration among key stakeholders was essential to achieving lasting stability in the power sector.
“Collective resolve and cooperation across stakeholders—government, the private sector, host communities and citizens—are essential to realise the vision of sustainable power for all.
“This new year, I urge every Nigerian to remain hopeful and united. When we support the President’s vision for a revitalised power sector, we are investing in our shared future. NDPHC is dedicated to efficient power generation, and together with the nation, we will make sustainable electricity a reality,” she said.
Adighije’s message came as the company marked its 20th anniversary, an event that highlighted renewed efforts to reposition NDPHC as a key driver of power generation and stability in Nigeria’s electricity sector.
Speaking at the anniversary celebration, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), Ekperikpe Ekpo, said recent reforms at NDPHC were restoring confidence in the power sector and giving fresh hope for industrial growth and socio-economic development.
“I was thrilled by Engr Jennifer Adighije’s achievements within the short time she has taken up the leadership of NDPHC. I was particularly pleased that we have a wonderful woman appointed to this office who is performing excellently,” Ekpo said.
The minister stressed that reliable electricity remained fundamental to Nigeria’s development aspirations, linking power supply directly to industrialisation and improved living conditions.
“Without power, there will be no industrialisation, and our homes will not be energised. Listening to her outline the improvements that have taken place in the power sector gives me confidence that Nigeria is heading in the right direction,” he added.
Ekpo also commended the management team of NDPHC and acknowledged the role of the Vice President, Kashim Shettima, who chairs the company’s board, in providing strategic leadership and oversight.
“I appreciate her and her team for the wonderful work they are doing. This commendation also goes to the vice president, who is providing strong leadership at the board level,” he stated.
The comments underscore growing expectations that reforms within NDPHC and the wider power sector will deliver a more dependable electricity supply, boost investor confidence, and support Nigeria’s industrial and economic growth.
