The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has appointed a new interim board to oversee Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company (KAEDC) following the dissolution of its previous board. This move comes after KAEDC repeatedly failed to meet market obligations and performance targets. The new board, chaired by Dr. Abdullahi Garba, was inaugurated on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, pursuant to an intervention order issued by NERC.
The interim board will serve a one-year term and is expected to drive the restructuring of KAEDC, improve its performance, and ensure compliance with market obligations. Additionally, Abubakar Umar Hashidu was appointed as Interim Administrator for an initial period of six months. The new leadership will also engage with stakeholders, including a visit to the Nigerian Army's One Division headquarters in Kaduna and the Nigerian Defence Academy.
