Eko Electricity Distribution Company (Eko Disco) has confirmed the appointment of Rekhiat Momoh as its new Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer. The appointment follows the redeployment of the former MD/CEO, Tinuade Sanda, back to WPG Ltd, the core investor that had seconded her to Eko Disco. Momoh’s appointment as Acting Chief Executive Officer was announced by the Board of EKEDC in March 2024, effective March 26, 2024.
With nearly three decades of experience in Nigeria’s power industry, Momoh brings a wealth of knowledge to her new role. Her background spans commercial operations, marketing, distribution management, and customer service, having served across the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA), the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), and Eko Disco. Her expertise has earned her a reputation as a results-driven executive with deep institutional knowledge.
Prior to her appointment, Momoh 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. Under her supervision, the company achieved a notable reduction in Aggregate Technical, Commercial, and Collection (ATC&C) losses, dropping from 32.78% in 2017 to 26.82% in 2019.
Momoh’s educational background includes an Ordinary National Diploma (OND) in Business Administration and a Higher National Diploma (HND) in Marketing from Auchi Polytechnic, as well as a Master of Business Administration (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), recognized in 2019 and 2020, respectively.
The appointment of Momoh as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer is expected to bring stability and continuity to Eko Disco, as the company continues to work towards improving its services and reducing losses. With her extensive experience and proven track record, Momoh is well-positioned to lead the company towards achieving its goals and improving the overall electricity distribution sector in Nigeria.
