Eko Disco Affirms Management Overhaul, Salary Harmonisation Drive

In a move to streamline operations and enforce parity across its workforce, the Board of Eko Electricity Distribution Company (Eko Disco) has affirmed recent management changes and its decision to harmonise salaries and conditions of service for all employees.
Dispelling rumours of a reversal in the dissolution of the former management under Dr Tinuade Sanda, Dere Otubu, Chairman of Eko Disco’s Board of Directors, issued a statement reasserting the withdrawal of seconded staff from West Power & Gas (WPG) and the installation of an interim leadership team led by Acting CEO Rekhiat Momoh.

He said, “Contrary to misinformation circulating, no WPG staff has been returned to Eko Disco. The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has not nullified any actions taken by our Board,” All staff in acting roles following the withdrawal of WPG secondees including our Acting CEO, Mrs Rekhiat Momoh are to continue doing their work.
“For greater clarity, the reason for the withdrawal of the WPG seconded staff is to allow for the process of employment of any qualified staff directly in Eko Disco. The decision of the Board is that all staff members of Eko Disco will have the same conditions of service and be under the same payroll structure.

“There will therefore be the harmonisation of the salary structure so that there will be no further earnings dichotomy. This process is still ongoing and you will be informed when it is completed.”
Also, the Board reiterated its confidence in the company’s talent to deliver excellence.

Otubu urged all staff to remain focused on their responsibilities, dismissing attempts to “plant mischief” through disinformation in the papers.

“We have great confidence in all of you to perform your roles effectively and take the company to greater heights. We therefore urge everyone to keep doing their duties diligently,” Otubu said.

The Board also underscored its primacy as Eko Disco’s paramount governing body, cautioning that only statements issued through its chairman should be considered authoritative representations of company policies and decisions.
