The Chairperson, Special Board of Kaduna Electric, MrsRahila Thomas has assured the commitment of the board to build a highly motivated and result oriented workforce for the company.
Thomas made the assertion when she led the new Board members on their maiden duty tour of formations of Kaduna Electric and engagement with the staff in Kaduna today.
In a statement yesterday, she said that with the enactment of the Electricity Act 2023, the regulatory landscape of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory has shifted, which calls for more concerted efforts to reverse the performance trajectory of the Company.
According to her, “the intervention we are witnessing today is not merely a change in leadership but a response to the pressing issues that have affected the very core of Kaduna Electric operations. It is essential to be transparent about the reasons behind this regulatory intervention, the first under the new Electricity Act 2023, so you understand the urgency and necessity of the task ahead of all of us”.
