In today’s Nigeria, where the power sector remains one of the most critical drivers of national development, the right leadership is not a luxury but a necessity. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s decision to appoint Engr. Jennifer Adighije as the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) is nothing short of visionary—a perfect example of a square peg in a square hole. With her wealth of experience, unwavering passion, and proven integrity, Engr. Adighije is not just leading the NDPHC; she is transforming it into a symbol of excellence and progress.
At the heart of her leadership is an unshakable belief in people. Engr. Adighije has recognized that the backbone of any institution is its human capital, and she has wasted no time in initiating robust capacity-building programs. From cutting-edge technical trainings to mentorship platforms that groom the next generation of energy professionals, her reforms are empowering staff to rise above limitations and match global standards. She is cultivating a culture of innovation and excellence, ensuring that every member of the NDPHC family is not only prepared for today’s challenges but is also equipped to shape the future of Nigeria’s power sector.
Equally profound is her focus on staff welfare. Engr. Adighije understands that a fulfilled workforce is a productive workforce. By prioritizing fair treatment, improving working conditions, and promoting inclusivity, she has reignited hope and restored pride among employees. Morale is higher, commitment is deeper, and there is a renewed sense of unity within the company. This people-centered approach is creating a ripple effect—where motivated individuals are now driving collective success with passion and loyalty.
Her leadership is proving that the NDPHC can be more than a utility provider; it can be an engine of national transformation. With her strategic vision and human-centered reforms, Engr. Adighije is positioning the company not only to deliver reliable power infrastructure but also to contribute significantly to Nigeria’s economic rebirth.
Indeed, Engr. Jennifer Adighije’s appointment stands as a powerful testament to President Tinubu’s foresight. It is the story of how the right leader at the right time can redefine the destiny of an institution and inspire hope for millions of Nigerians who long for sustainable progress. Her journey at the helm of NDPHC is not just about power—it is about people, purpose, and the promise of a brighter future.
