Rural Electrification Agency boss Abba Aliyu snagged a public sector CEO award at the Nigerian NewsDirect anniversary event in Lagos, and he said the recognition belongs to regular people whose lives changed because of power access. The agency has been rolling out programs like DARES and the Nigeria Electrification Project that bring renewable energy to areas that never had reliable electricity before. Aliyu mentioned market vendors no longer burn through half their money on diesel, and students can actually hit the books at night.
The managing director thanked President Tinubu for the chance to run things, and he gave props to his team plus development partners for backing the mission. He told young people at the ceremony that hard work beats your background every time, and he pushed other government officials to keep raising standards. Other people at the event were Lagos State reps, the Olota of Ota, and executives from Fidelity Bank and construction companies.
