The Nigerian power sector has long been a source of concern for many citizens. Despite various attempts at reform, finding a lasting solution to the challenges plaguing this crucial sector has remained elusive.

While many believe that the transformation of the sector is a task best suited for men, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration has taken a bold step by appointing a woman of exceptional intellect, experience and dedication to be part of the sector’s revival. That woman is Jennifer Adighije.

Indeed, Eng. Jennifer Adighije has proven that women can excel in fields dominated by men, such as engineering. As a determined woman, she has been able to transform the NDPHC within a short period.

Eng. Adighije, who was appointed the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (MD/CEO) of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) Ltd. in August 2024, has broken barriers and continues to shine like a well-cut diamond.

In accordance with the theme for International Women’s Day 2025; “Accelerate Action,” suffice to say that her efforts call for action to unlock equal rights, power, and opportunities for all, especially empowering the next generation of women would lead to accelerated action.

This year’s theme emphasises the need to ensure equal rights, power, and opportunities for all women and girls, with focus on empowering the next generation of young women and girls as catalysts for change.

That is among the actions that Adighije had been taking since she took over at NDPHC last year.

Before her appointment, she had already demonstrated remarkable brilliance and competence in various roles, having previously served as the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the President on Entrepreneurship Development in Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy.
Her appointment was widely praised by those familiar with her impressive track record.

Determined to hit the ground running, Adighije quickly set the company’s strategic direction, developed actionable policies, and provided expert guidance to key stakeholders. She has also made it a priority to boost her team’s morale and foster a culture of excellence.

This Woman of Distinction is in her early 40s and hails from the Adighije family of Abia State. She was under the tutelage of her disciplinarian father, Chris Adighije, who was a senator that represented Abia Central Senatorial District between 2003 and 2007.

Jennifer Adighije’s academic background is as impressive as her professional achievements. She earned a B.Sc. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the University of Lagos before pursuing an M.Sc. in Wireless Networks and Telecommunications at Queen Mary University of London. She returned to Nigeria in 2006 to contribute to the nation’s development.

Professional Journey
Adighije’s career has been marked by resilience, expertise, and leadership. She began her career as a transmission maintenance engineer at the now-defunct Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) before transitioning into the telecommunications industry.

She later worked with Globacom as an NSS specialist and subsequently joined Helios Towers Nigeria, a telecommunications infrastructure company, as the Head of Operations and Planning.

Adighije later moved into public service, serving as a Value Engineer and Cost Controller in the Procurement Department of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) from 2018 to 2023. In September 2023, she was appointed Senior Special Assistant to the President on Entrepreneurship Development in the Digital Economy, where she played a key role in advising and supporting the administration’s economic policies.

Adighije, the ‘Fashionpreneur’
Beyond engineering and public service, Adighije is a fashion enthusiast. She founded House of Silk (HOS), a fabric retail and tailoring company, in 2009. Her passion for fashion was evident from a young age, and she was recognized as a finalist in the Young Designer Category of the MTN Lagos Fashion and Design Week Awards in 2012.

A Humanitarian and Digital Advocate, Adighije is deeply committed to social impact and digital inclusion. She is a patron of the Digi-Tech Empowerment Foundation for Youths, where she helps bridge access gaps for digitally disadvantaged young people. She is also a member of the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) and a registered practitioner with the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN).
Currently, she is pursuing a doctoral degree at the Catholic University of Murcia, Spain.

Transforming NDPHC Efficiency:
Since taking over as MD/CEO of NDPHC, Adighije has been widely credited with revitalising the organisation. Stakeholders have praised her for implementing forward-thinking policies that have positioned the company for better performance and improved service delivery.

Since assuming office, Engr. Jennifer Adighije has made significant strides, earning the approval of key stakeholders in the power sector. Her leadership has been characterised by a strategic focus on operational efficiency, human capital development, and organizational restructuring.

Several initiatives have defined her tenure so far. She has conducted extensive inspections of NDPHC’s Power Plants and assets to identify and address inefficiencies. Additionally, she has strengthened stakeholders engagement by fostering closer collaboration with distribution companies, regulatory bodies, and government officials, while also exploring partnerships to secure funding for future projects.

Internally, Adighije has spearheaded structural reforms, streamlining processes to enhance project execution and improve staff productivity. Her commitment to positioning NDPHC as a key player in Nigeria’s energy sector is evident through her proactive approach to tackling industry challenges and implementing impactful reforms.

As part of her broader contributions to the sector, she has also improved the Eligible Customer Programme, aligning with President Bola Tinubu’s vision for a more efficient and sustainable energy sector.

Speaking on what she has been able to achieve since she took over the leadership of the organisation, Eng. Jennifer Adighije stated that power generation has increased tremendously under her leadership.

Noting that power generation has improved under her leadership, Adighije stressed that an additional 300 megawatts had been added to boost electricity supply.

“Prior to my leadership, our daily dispatch was below 500 megawatts, but now its usually above 800 megawatts, which means we have improved significantly our generation output to meet the market demands”.

“This is possible because we have a robust plan for our power plants, we also have a very proactive procurement plan to ensure that we do preventive maintenance across our power plants”.

“With that, we have been able to build sustainability and efficiency across our power plants. The power plants are measured majorly by the availability factor. Across each of the power plants, we have improved our availability factor very significantly because we have an effective recovery and restoration plans in place”.

The people speak:
As attested by the people, in her early 40s, Jennifer Adighije demonstrates remarkable maturity, strategic foresight, and sound judgment, excelling both as an entrepreneur and an administrator.
One stakeholder, Titus James, commended her leadership, describing her as the right person for the job.

“We are satisfied with Mrs. Jennifer Adighije’s performance as MD of NDPHC so far. She has proven that she knows the job. We believe President Bola Tinubu made the right choice, and we pray that she continues to excel.”

“She is committed to ensuring that the company serves the people’s interests. She is giving her all to reposition NDPHC, and we urge everyone to support her efforts,” James added.

For the records:
The NDPHC maintains 10 flagship power plants across the Southern Nigeria, in the following locations – Alaoji (Abia State); Olorunsogo (Ogun State); Calabar (Cross River State); Omoku (Rivers State); Omotosho (Ondo State); Gbarain (Bayelsa State); Ihovbor (Edo State); Egbema (Imo State); Ogorode (Delta State) and Geregu (Kogi State).

Transmission Projects:
They include five transmission substations and lines, which carry out functions such as power evacuation, as well as grid expansion and enhancement;
Distribution Projects: These include substations, transformers and 33 kV and 11 kV lines.

Conclusion
One of President Tinubu’s fondest desires as Head of Government – a desire which has informed much of his policy template since his days as Lagos State Governor – is to see the public-sector (as in, government and its MDAs) deploy business and governance practices similar to those routinely applied in the private sector. No wonder, then, that on August 19, 2024, he appointed a versatile and dynamic entrepreneur and administrator – in the person of Engineer Adighije – as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the NDPHC.
A former Senior Special Assistant to the President on Entrepreneurship Development in Communications, Innovation and the Digital Economy, Adighije was tasked with bringing her training as an engineer, her business acumen as an entrepreneur and branding icon, and her reputation as a go-getter who forges ahead regardless of the enormity of the challenges ahead of her, to the table of decision-making at the helm of the NDPHC.

With her strategic vision, leadership skills, and unwavering dedication, Jennifer Adighije is well on her way to leaving an indelible mark on Nigeria’s power sector.

Edo Extrajudicial Killing and the Demolishing of Obaseki’s Security Architecture

Emeka Nwachukwu

The blood of 16 Nigerians from the Northern part of the country who were transiting from Port Harcourt in Rivers State to their home state flowed painfully in Uromi, Esan North-East Local Government Area of Edo State, on Thursday, March 28, 2025.

From the look of things, even though investigations are currently ongoing, these victims were mere resource-poor farmers, most likely as deprived and angry with the nation’s problems as the mob in whose hands they met their violent and untimely death.

The very sad and unfortunate incident, which has continued to elicit outrage and criticism, has made it manifestly clear that the Edo State security system has collapsed.

An investigative inquest into this terrible incident has, however, revealed that what happened in Uromi is not just an isolated event but a calamity waiting to happen, considering the devastating assault on the meticulously planned security architecture painstakingly put together by His Excellency, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, the former governor of Edo State, working hand in hand with various institutions.

Understanding Edo’s unique positioning as a critical transport hub in the country, one that links the north to the south, whether from the southwest, southeast, or south-south regions of Nigeria, Obaseki during his tenure as the State’s helmsman built a very nimble security system to address these sorts of crisis and bequeathed same to new government of Senator Monday Okpebholo.

The Obaseki Security Model

Obaseki developed this nuanced security model by first leveraging traditional institutions. The governor recognized that an effective and efficient security system cannot be planned without the involvement of local leadership of the communities that you’re trying to secure. On account of this, Obaseki ensured that there was an active traditional council in each local government area (LGA) of the State.

These traditional councils gave the various traditional rulers in each LGA a sense of leadership that was recognised by the government in their communities. These leaders were not just figureheads as they were formally incorporated into the state government’s payroll and every month, they received allowances from the government, empowering them to provide local leadership and ensuring they commanded respect within their communities.

With this foundation of traditional leadership, Obaseki encouraged different communities to nominate operatives, who were then taken for rigorous training, to the Police Academy at Ogida Barracks in Benin, which was rebuilt and equipped by Obaseki.

The training was conducted by the police, DSS, military, and other security agencies, covering intelligence gathering, community policing, firearm handling, and other critical security skills. After the training, the operatives were profiled, their data was entered into a central database, and they were officially inaugurated into what Obaseki called the Edo State Security Network.

These operatives were then equipped with sophisticated handheld walkie-talkies and communication gadgets and were deployed back to the communities they originated from. The idea was that, since security is local, only those who live within a locality can effectively secure it. This structure strengthened the security system, making it more nimble and effective.

The next layer involved strengthening the state’s surveillance system. In addition to surveillance conducted by these well-trained operatives of the Edo State Security Network in their various localities, a network of security cameras was deployed in the first phase across every nook and cranny of Benin City. The feeds from these cameras were transmitted to the Command and Control Center, where large screens allowed trained experts to monitor activities across the state 24/7.

Inside the Command and Control Center, a dedicated call center operated in three shifts of eight hours each, ensuring 24-hour coverage. Professionals at the call center received emergency calls through the state’s emergency numbers, 731 and 112.

Once an emergency was reported, they monitored the situation via the surveillance system and deployed the relevant emergency response team accordingly. If it were a fire emergency, the nearest firefighters were dispatched. If it involved robbery or arson, the closest police or military unit was deployed. For health emergencies, the EMS was activated.

Seamless communication was also ensured through high-end, long-range radio devices (walkie-talkies) that covered every inch of Edo State. This eliminated the need to rely on GSM or mobile networks, which often have poor signals in certain remote areas. Additionally, the security system incorporated highly sophisticated drones capable of detecting human body heat in forests, further enhancing the security operations.

Interagency Collaboration

One of the critical pillars of Obaseki’s nimble security model was strong interagency collaboration. The police, military, DSS, NSCDC, and other security agencies worked together, shared information, and held frequent security meetings. Most importantly, all of these efforts were under the strong leadership of the then Chief Security Officer of the State, Godwin Obaseki, who, every week, convened high-level security council meetings with these agencies and other stakeholders in the security chain.

Security decisions were made based on real-time data, allowing authorities to track and monitor crime trends, including homicide, murder, kidnapping, and other criminal activities.

All of these elements combined to create a resilient and robust security system that made Edo impenetrable to insecurity. As a result, the state was at the time adjudged the safest place to live and do business in the entire South-South region of Nigeria.

The Deluge

Unfortunately, as the 2024 governorship elections in Edo State approached, some political actors within the state orchestrated a nonexistent security crisis, which led to the death of a police officer. They then used this incident as an excuse to deceive the Inspector General of Police (IGP) in Abuja, giving him the false impression that the security structure built by Obaseki posed a threat to the election.

Having been misled by this contrived crisis, the IGP came to Edo State and began dismantling the robust security system put in place by the then governor. The operatives of the Edo Security Network, who had been thoroughly trained and equipped to perform effectively, were disbanded. The communication gadgets handed over to the operatives were confiscated, the surveillance system was set aside, and security agencies in the State were turned against the Chief Security Officer. Everything was thrown into disarray.

This led to a heavily militarized election, followed by the enthronement of a new government and then the complete degradation of the entire security system. The new government sacked the Edo Security Network and replaced them with political actors who had no training whatsoever. All security gadgets were discarded, the Command and Control Center was consigned to the rubbish bin of history, and the strategic security meetings were abandoned. As a result, insecurity reigned supreme across the land.

Edo People Kidnapped, Maimed and Killed

The consequences of this security collapse have been dire. The state has become a safe haven for killings, kidnappings and violent attacks.

Apart from the 16 people who were recently burnt alive, in the past two months alone, at least 50 persons have reportedly died from the mindless killings and brutal attacks by herders and other criminal gangs, with properties worth millions of naira destroyed.

The devastating attack on seven farming communities in Ovia South-West LGA, about a month ago, was said to have claimed at least 24 lives.

Three residents of Okpekpe community in Etsako East LGa, including Batemue Philip Ebo and Christopher Bello, were also brutally killed by suspected herders, a few days after the Ovia incident.

In Edo Central, the blood bath has continued unabated with at least 10 persons killed in various communities from Uromi, in Esan North East, to Ubiajia in Esan South East and Igueben, among others.

In Ekpoma precisely, an 18-year-old boy, identified as Chinedu Abimbor, also met his untimely death when he was shot dead by police officers in Ekpoma, Esan West local council.

Very recently, Fr. Philip Ekweli and 21-year-old major seminarian Andrew Peter, who was later killed by his abductors, were kidnapped in Etsako East LGA of the State.

The National President of the Afenifere Youth Council, Prince Eniola Olajuni, who was kidnapped on his way to Abuja, was released in Ibilo, Akoko-Edo LGA, after 12 days in captivity, highlighting how emboldened criminal elements have become in the state.

This is in addition to the brutality the people have had to endure in the hands of non state actors who have held them hostage, hounding, harassing, intimidating and extorting them. The activities of government-backed thugs under the State Public Safety Response Team (PSRT), reportedly claimed the life of a two-year-old girl who was crushed to death by a commercial driver who had a clash the thugs, while driving at the Ring Road, Benin City.

In terms of insecurity, it has been a perfect storm in Edo State, chaos and brigandage everywhere. Worse still, the supposed Chief Security Officer of the State appears completely disconnected from these tragic events, not even as little as making a public statement himself on the matter. No sense of governance. No empathy. No connection to the people.

A concerned citizen of the State had to even write an article stating that the governor was “dancing on the graves” of the victims of the insecurity caused by his own government as a result of his inability to show empathy and concern to these long-list of victims, their families and communities.

This abandonment by their supposed Chief Security Officer left Edo people feeling completely alone, forcing them to resort to self-help.

The Uromi Self-Justice and Jungle Justice

The sad and unfortunate Uromi incident of March 2025 didn’t happen by accident. It was the result of paranoia, fear, and a deep sense of abandonment by the authorities. The people, feeling left to their fate, took the law into their own hands.

Okpebholo’s handling of the security crisis made it seem as though there was no leadership in the State. The people had concluded that their Chief Security Officer appeared uninterested in their dilemma, and help was not coming anytime soon. As a result, everyone felt the need to take personal responsibility for their own security.

This paranoia drove people to move from one road to another, stopping and checking and scrutinizing everyone and once they saw persons that appeared to look like those they felt were a threat to them and their security, all hell broke loose.

There was no attempt to report to the authorities because, in the minds of the people, those authorities never proved to have existed. Hence, they became the judge, the jury, and the executioners and tragically, 16 innocent people, probably just as poor, vulnerable and scared as they were, were violently and mindlessly killed.

It is imperative to state that the problem goes beyond name-calling, sporadic arrests, and demolishing buildings. These are surface-level responses that will not solve the problem. The fact is that there was a robust, nimble and well coordinated security system established by the immediate past governor, Godwin Obaseki that was completely disregarded and discarded for political reasons.

This is the main problem and to tackle the problem, there must be a deliberate step and urgent need to redeploy the same strategy and tactics to rebuild the security system from the ground up. This includes incorporating locals to provide intelligence, reestablishing a robust surveillance system, deploying advanced technological communication and drone systems, reinstating inter-agency collaboration, and, most importantly, ensuring strong leadership from the Chief Security Officer of the State.

This is the only path to restoring security in Edo State and ensuring the protection of the lives and property of the people of the State.

Nigeria’s 2025 Budget: Boosting Affordable Housing, Smart Cities, and Economic Growth

Wole Olufore

A budget is a crucial tool for national development. It plays a vital role in driving economic growth, improving infrastructure, and ensuring the efficient allocation of resources. The 2025 national budget, titled “Budget of Restoration: Securing Peace, Rebuilding Prosperity,” highlights this reality.

With a population of over 220 million and over 28 million housing deficit, Nigeria’s housing deficit remains a major concern for stakeholders in the real estate sector. It is no surprise that experts continue to advocate for increase funding from government and players in the sector.

The 2025 budget hints at a government that has listened to this concern. It is sparking a wave of optimism among stakeholders. N23.84billion is budgeted for residential buildings and N10.27billion for the rehabilitation and maintenance of government-owned infrastructures across the country. The ₦10.37 billion allocated for rehabilitation and maintenance is a critical step toward addressing the decay of existing housing stock, especially in urban areas where ageing infrastructure is a pressing concern.

From all indications, the 2025 Nigerian National Budget presents a transformative opportunity to lay the groundwork for smart cities, positioning Nigeria as a hub of innovation, efficiency, and sustainability. Experts argue that with a strong focus on infrastructure development, the budget can catalyse the creation of urban landscapes powered by cutting-edge technology.

Reliable power supply is equally critical, as consistent electricity is the backbone of smart systems like automated streetlights and home automation. The budget’s emphasis on improving power infrastructure is a vital step toward achieving this. Additionally, investments in smart transportation—such as intelligent traffic management and intra-city rail systems, as seen in Lagos—can revolutionise mobility, reducing congestion and promoting sustainability.

The budget emphasises affordable housing through initiatives like the ₦250 billion Ministry of Finance Real Estate Investment Fund (MREIF). This presents a significant opportunity for private sector players, such as Alpha Mead Group, to collaborate with the government in addressing Nigeria’s housing deficit. Through public-private partnerships, private sector players can engage in joint ventures, concession agreements, or build-operate-transfer (BOT) models to develop and manage affordable housing projects.

Macroeconomic Stability: Boosting Investor Confidence

The 2025 national budget projects a decline in inflation to 15 per cent and an improved exchange rate. These macroeconomic improvements could significantly boost investor confidence in Nigeria’s real estate market. A decline in inflation will increase the purchasing power of the naira, making real estate investments more attractive while lower inflation will also lead to reduced interest rates, making borrowing for real estate investments more affordable. Also, an improved exchange rate is expected to make the Nigerian real estate assets more attractive to foreign investors while also lowering the cost of imported building materials and equipment, thereby reducing development costs. These combined effects of a reduced inflation and an improved exchange rates create more stable and predictable market environment, which is crucial for attracting long-term real estate investments.

The Future of Nigeria’s Real Estate and Facility Management in Nigeria

Addressing the existing land reform and urban planning challenges is equally pertinent, as implementing a digitalised and transparent land titling and registration system will help reduce land disputes and facilitate land acquisition.

Similarly, government must prioritise infrastructure investment by allocating sufficient funds to infrastructure development in areas such as transportation, water, power etc as well as promote renewable energy and smart infrastructure solutions to improve its efficiency, reduce cost and enhance the quality of life in the urban areas.

In the area of regulatory framework and environment, government must strengthen existing building codes and regulations to ensure safety, quality and sustainability in real estate development.

With the increasing clamour for affordable housing and social inclusion, government must develop and implement policies that promotes the development of affordable housing including the provision of subsidies, tax incentives to real estate investors and efficient land allocation.

The 2025 Nigerian Budget may well represent a significant step forward in addressing the country’s housing deficit and infrastructure challenges. With targeted allocations for residential buildings, rehabilitation, and affordable housing, the budget provides a framework for sustainable growth in the real estate and facility management sectors. Its success will however depend on effective implementation, private sector collaboration, and policy reforms.

Alpha Mead Group as a market leader is at the forefront of this transformation. It is actively leveraging its expertise in real estate development, facility management, and technology to help bridge Nigeria’s housing deficit and enhance urban infrastructure. By aligning with the government’s vision and addressing key challenges, Alpha Mead Group is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Nigeria’s real estate and facility management sectors.

Wole Olufore, Group Executive Director (GED), Alpha Mead, is a seasoned business leader, Facility Management technocrat, and industry strategist with more than 30 years cognate experience handling various contracts and dynamic leadership roles in oil and gas companies like Shell Nigeria and Centrica Resources before venturing into the Real Estate space driving operational excellence in facilities management in Nigeria and Africa. Wole holds an MBA from Nottingham Trent University in the UK and is a member of African Centre for Supply Chain, Chartered Institute of Purchasing & Supply, London, and the American Management Association
