Jennifer Adighije took over the Niger Delta Power Holding Company in August 2024 and managed to bring 625 megawatts back online by fixing dormant turbines at plants like Ihovbor, Alaoji, and Omotosho. The company handles generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure for Nigeria's National Integrated Power Projects, but a bunch of their assets were barely functioning before she showed up.
She pushed through maintenance work, locked down better gas supply deals, and got contractors back on board to restart units that had been sitting idle. Plants that were running in single-digit availability percentages started performing again after overhauls and closer vendor coordination.
The company still owes over 600 billion naira in accumulated debts, transmission bottlenecks keep blocking full capacity usage, and gas shortages continue limiting output across the board.
