How to resolve power sector challenges – AEDC Boss

The Managing Director of the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC), Christopher Ezeafulukwe, has called for teamwork among operators of the various segments of the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI) to resolve the challenges facing the sector.

Speaking at the Bi-annual joint generation, operations and DisCos planning meeting in Abuja, Ezeafulukwe said the sector can only grow when the various segments work in unison.

He noted that while there have been improvements since the power sector was partially privatised 10 years ago, a lot of work is still required to meet the objectives of the sector.

He pointed out that the sector has been plagued by issues of sustainability in policies and operations, adding that the biggest question confronting the players “Today is how do we collectively ensure adequate and reliable supply of electricity to our valued customers even in the face of challenges?”

He explained that to overcome the mistrust of the public in the sector players, operators need to work as a team across the value chain.
