Abuja — In a move aimed at strengthening the power supply in Kaduna State and its environs, the Chairman of the Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company, KAEDCO, Mr. Aminu Suleiman, alongside the Managing Director, Dr. Umar Abubakar Hashidu, paid a courtesy visit to the the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company, NDPHC, Engr. Jennifer Adighije, and the company’s Executive Management.
The meeting provided a strategic platform for in-depth discussions focused on building a collaborative partnership to enhance energy access and ensure a more reliable electricity supply within Kaduna Electric’s network.
Key issues deliberated upon included power generation availability, transmission constraints, distribution efficiency, and the need for closer operational alignment between generation and distribution entities.
The meeting ended positively, with both parties confident that the partnership will lead to substantial near-term progress in power generation and distribution for the benefit of their customers.
Industry analysts have long argued that meaningful improvement in electricity supply can only be achieved through stronger coordination across the value chain.
The KAEDCO–NDPHC engagement reflects a growing recognition of this reality, particularly at a time when distribution companies are under increasing pressure to deliver improved service amid infrastructure limitations and commercial challenges.
The engagement with NDPHC underscores KAEDCO’s commitment to working collaboratively with upstream sector players to address systemic constraints impacting electricity supply in its network.
