According to the statement,Mrs Momoh has been in the power sector for more than 31 meritorious years. She has risen through the ranks in the power sector from the days of NEPA, PHCN and now Eko Disco, receiving several excellence awards, commendations and medals along the way.

“We have great confidence in her ability to perform this role effectively and take the company to greater heights”.
Meanwhile,the former CEO of the electricity company,Dr.Tinuade Sanda,has cleared air on her exit from Eko Electricity Distribution Company.
She said,she has not been dismissed but has instead been redeployed along with all other management staff, in accordance with a directive from the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).
She explained in a statement that,the directive, aimed at addressing the ghost worker issue within EKEDC, has led to the cessation of the secondment arrangement, thereby granting EKEDC the authority to directly employ its management team as it sees fit following a comprehensive investigation.
She added:”This restructuring is designed to enhance accountability and transparency within the organization. Additionally, NERC has empowered EKEDC to enforce disciplinary measures against any staff implicated in the ghost workers scandal, ensuring the maintenance of integrity and efficiency in its operations”
