The Board of Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) has announced the appointment of Rekiah Momoh as the company’s Acting Chief Executive Officer, effective March 26, 2024.
Her appointment follows the redeployment of former MD/CEO, Tinuade Sanda, back to West Power and Gas Limited (WPG Ltd), the core investor that had seconded her to Eko Disco.
According to a statement by the company, Momoh, who hails from Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State, brings nearly three decades of experience in Nigeria’s power sector, having worked across the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA), the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), and Eko Disco.
Her career spans commercial operations, marketing, distribution management, and customer service, earning her a reputation as a results-driven leader with deep institutional expertise.
Within EKEDC, Momoh has held several key roles, including General Manager (Commercial), Assistant General Manager (Marketing), and District Manager for Orile, Mushin, and Apapa business units, where she oversaw operational, financial, and commercial activities.
Under her leadership, Eko Disco achieved a significant reduction in Aggregate Technical, Commercial, and Collection (ATC&C) losses — from 32.78% in 2017 to 26.82% in 2019.
Momoh holds an OND in Business Administration and an HND in Marketing from Auchi Polytechnic (1991), as well as 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), receiving the distinctions in 2019 and 2020, respectively.
Her appointment has been widely seen as a step toward continuity, operational efficiency, and enhanced service delivery at one of Nigeria’s largest electricity distribution companies.
