The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has appointed an interim board to oversee the Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company (KAEDC). This move comes after the previous Board of Directors was dissolved following repeated failures to meet market obligations and performance targets. NERC issued Order No. NERC/2026/08, which dissolved KAEDC's previous board and formed a five-member Interim Board of Special Directors.
The interim board will be chaired by Dr. Abdullahi Garba and will serve a one-year term. In addition to the new board, NERC also appointed Abubakar Umar Hashidu as Interim Administrator for KAEDC, with an initial six-month tenure. The new leadership is expected to drive restructuring, improve performance, and ensure compliance with market obligations.
Following the board's inauguration, a delegation from NERC, the interim board, KAEDC management, and staff paid visits to the Nigerian Army's One Division headquarters in Kaduna and the Nigerian Defence Academy in Kaduna. These stakeholder engagements mark the beginning of KAEDC's operations under the interim leadership arrangement.
