Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO), one of Nigeria’s power distribution companies, has approved the merit-based promotion of 1,500 staff as part of its ongoing commitment to staff welfare, motivation, and the development of a performance-driven workforce.
A statement issued by the company’s spokesperson, Sani Bala Sani, described the promotion exercise as significant in KEDCO’s history, underscoring the company’s renewed commitment to human capital development as a critical pillar of its transformation agenda under its core investor, Future Energies Africa (FEA), and current management.
The exercise followed a comprehensive performance appraisal process and aligns with best practices in corporate governance, fairness, and transparency.
It was designed to recognise deserving staff who met the eligibility criteria in line with the company’s conditions of service and demonstrated dedication, competence, and resilience in supporting KEDCO’s operational turnaround and improved service delivery.
Speaking on the development, KEDCO’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Abubakar Shuaibu Jimeta, described the move as a strategic investment in people, noting that workers remain the company’s greatest asset.
“This promotion exercise is not just a reward for hard work; it is a statement of intent. At KEDCO, we are building a culture where performance is recognised, excellence is encouraged, and our people are empowered to deliver value to our customers and stakeholders,” the MD/CEO said.
The development forms part of broader workforce reforms aimed at boosting productivity, enhancing customer experience, and positioning KEDCO to meet the evolving demands of the power sector.
It also reflects the company’s resolve to foster industrial harmony and sustain a motivated workforce capable of driving operational efficiency.
KEDCO reaffirmed its commitment to continuous staff development, capacity building, and improved welfare, stressing that a motivated workforce remains central to achieving reliable, efficient, and customer-focused electricity distribution across its franchise area.
