Dr Tinuade Sanda Remains EKEDC CEO - NERC Makes Clarification by Wisdomkosi(m): 1:50pm On Mar 28
“We refer to the publications made in relation to the above.”

“We hereby inform the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI) stakeholders and the general public that by a letter dated 27th of March 2024, NERC has clarified its directive which was earlier misapprehended and misconceived and , on which basis the MD/CEO Dr. Tinuade Sanda and other Management Staff were purportedly recalled to the parent company, WPG Limited.”


According to NERC, “ _The Commission has noted the strong public interest generated by the current event at EKEDP and the various interpretations of the resolutions conveyed vide the said letter, particularly, with respect to paragraphs (4b) and 4(c). We therefore hereby provide further clarifications as follows_ :

1. __Paragraph 4b- All staff of EKEDP, irrespective of their form of engagement, will be subject to the Conditions of Service of EKEDP. The Commission deemed it necessary to pass this resolution based on the submission of EKEDP, at the meeting of 20 March 2024, that **the Condition of Service (“CoS”) of EKEDP was not applicable to Seconded personnel from third party providers*_

_2. Paragraph 4c – EKEDP Board is expected to conclude its review of its investigation into the allegation of Ghost workers to identify all personnel involved in causing loss of revenues to EKEDP no later than 27th March 2024. In a case where the indicted parties are seconded from third party providers and *since they are reportedly NOT subject to the EKEDP CoS, they are to be recalled to their parent companies to avoid the risk of further losses to EKEDP*_”


We appreciate the proactive action of the Commission and the clarifications, which unambiguously mean that:

(A) all contracts of employment of anyone working for EKEDP, whether of WPG, EKEDP, or otherwise, must be subject to and regulated by the Condition of Service of EKEDP.


(B) The legal fulcrum and basis for the purported recall of the seconded staff has been vitiated and now non-existent since the basis of the recall of the seconded staff was the initial misinterpretation of the previous NERC Resolution/Orders

(C) The express recall and termination of the contract of employment of staffers/employees whose actions led to a loss of revenue to EKEDP. The staff, namely:


*Wola Joseph-Condotti, Sheri Adegbenro and Aik Alenkhe* -who had been subjected to Disciplinary Committee proceedings, the outcome of which has been contested by some Board members, including the Federal Government representative, the Bureau of Public Enterprise.

Consequently, the seconded Management staff of WPG Limited, whose recalls were done in “error” are hereby mandated and required to return to their respective duties and offices *EXCEPT* those named above, already identifiied and subjected to Disciplinary Committee proceedings over the allegations of fraud and negligent actions through ghost workers and exited staff, which occassioned finanical losses to the Company.

We shall be providing full co-operation with the officers of the Nigerian Police, the Economic & Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the leadership of the Nigerian Body of Benchers and relevant members of the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee for further actions for closure on the alleged fraud.


We once again thank the Regulator for providing this clarification, the NESI stakeholders general public for their kind concerns, and the Staff of EKEDP and WPG Limited for their patience through all of this.

*Therefore, all initial orders or actions taken erroneously are hereby immediately reversed* .

Signed:

Babor Egregor

The same experience everywhere. Even IBEDC too,there is no power supply.
If we have power today, the next one or two days, there won't be power supply at all. Which means it's not the problem of one Disco but general thing.

Don't spew rubbish on a public forum like this.

The loans have not yet been accessed. And do you think it's only 11km road that the loans will be used for? It's ti be used for the funding of the entire budget!

Yo think it's like Lagos state where they'll do one rail line for 2Trillion and celebrate??

You sef use your head nau, 600 billion for 11km? It's not APC na.
