Eko Electricity Distribution Company (Eko Disco) has officially confirmed Mrs. Rekhiat Momoh as its new Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, solidifying her position after months in an acting capacity.
The appointment shows the company’s focus on strengthening leadership as it continues to navigate Nigeria’s evolving power sector.
In March 2024, Nairametrics reported that the Board of Eko Electricity Distribution Company had announced the appointment of Mrs. Momoh as Acting Chief Executive Officer, effective March 26, 2024. The appointment followed the redeployment of the former MD/CEO, Mrs. Tinuade Sanda, back to WPG Ltd, the core investor that had seconded her to Eko Disco. The development was disclosed in a statement issued on behalf of the company’s board and obtained by Nairametrics.
Momoh, who hails from Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State, brings nearly three decades of experience in Nigeria’s power industry, having served across the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA), the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), and Eko Disco.

Momoh earned her OND in Business Administration and HND in Marketing from Auchi Polytechnic in 1991, followed by an MBA in Marketing from Lagos State University. She is a Fellow of both the National Institute of Marketing of Nigeria (NIMN) and the Nigerian Institute of Management (NIM), recognized in 2019 and 2020, respectively.
