NDPHC boss reaffirms commitment to scale power generation, transmission, distribution

Jennifer Adighije, Managing Director, Niger Delta Power Holding Company of Nigeria, has reiterated commitment of the company to scale up Nigeria’s power generation, transmission and distribution capacity.

Adighije stated this while receiving the  ‘Young Achiever of the Year’ award at the 2025 Energy Times Awards ceremony.

According to her, the NDPHC is the only agency with the express mandate to carry out interventions across the value chain, stressing that her team is not losing focus on the mandate.

“It’s a very humbling experience for us at NDPHC. As you are aware, we’re a new management. We’ve been in office less than a year. This is a call to work harder.

“The mandate is very clear to us, which is to scale generation, transmission, and distribution capacity across the power sector. We are the only agency or institution or entity in the power sector with the express mandate to carry out interventions across the entire gas-to-electricity ecosystem. And we’re not losing sight of this,” she stated.

Commending Adighije for her work in the power sector, the organisers said she was selected for the award for having shown an unwavering commitment to the sector-wide goal of 6,000 megawatts power generation to ensure widespread access to quality electricity.

The Organisers noted that since her appointment in August 2024, Adighije has ensured the restoration of two turbine units that had been offline due to bearing defects, thereby adding 230MW to the national power generation output.
