About The Author
President Bola Tinubu has appointed executive and non-executive board members for the newly established Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO).
According to him, Dr. Adesegun Akin-Olugbade is the board chairman, while Engineer Abdu Mohammed Bello has been appointed Managing Director.
He added that the President has also appointed four Executive Directors: Engineer Nafisatu Asabe Ali for Systems Operation, Engineer Shehu Abba-Aliyu for Systems Planning, Dr. Edmund Eje for Market Operations, and Mr. Babajide Ibironke for Finance and Corporate Services.
Onanuga noted that the National Council on Privatisation (NCP) will finalise the recruitment process.
“These appointments align with the Electricity Act of 2023. They followed a memorandum from Vice President Kashim Shettima and a rigorous selection process conducted by the Independent Board Nomination Committee (IBNC) in collaboration with Phillips Consulting Limited.
“The creation of NISO fulfils a key mandate of the Electricity Act (2023), which requires the unbundling of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) into a Transmission System Provider (TSP) and an Independent System Operator (ISO).
