The Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) has reaffirmed its commitment to improving electricity reliability across Nigeria, describing stable power supply as a key driver of business expansion, industrial productivity, and sustainable economic growth.
The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of NDPHC, Engr. Jennifer Adighije, made the commitment in a Democracy Day message, stating that stronger infrastructure remains essential to delivering the economic benefits of democracy to citizens and businesses.
According to Adighije, dependable electricity is no longer just a basic utility but a strategic foundation for manufacturing, commercial development, employment creation, and national competitiveness.
“At NDPHC, we remain committed to delivering reliable electricity that drives industries, empowers communities, and fuels national progress,” she said.
She noted that businesses require predictable energy supply to reduce operational risks, improve efficiency, and expand sustainably, adding that power stability remains central to Nigeria’s broader economic transformation agenda.
Adighije highlighted NDPHC’s Eligible Customer Programme (ECP) as a major intervention aimed at providing large-scale industrial and commercial users with direct access to reliable electricity.
“Our Eligible Customer Programme gives businesses reliable, predictable electricity so they can focus on scaling operations, not power outages,” she stated.
The programme, she explained, is designed to reduce energy uncertainty, limit production disruptions, and strengthen the competitiveness of Nigerian businesses by ensuring access to more dependable power.
NDPHC said companies participating in the initiative could benefit from improved operational efficiency, lower losses linked to electricity interruptions, enhanced productivity, and greater long-term energy security.
The company added that access to stable electricity would allow businesses to redirect resources previously spent managing power challenges into expansion, innovation, and job creation.
As Nigeria continues with reforms in the electricity sector, the Light Up Nigeria Project is expected to support efforts to expand power access for productive users, strengthen industrial capacity, and accelerate economic development.
Adighije urged continued cooperation between government agencies, private sector operators, and other stakeholders to build a more resilient power sector capable of meeting Nigeria’s growing energy needs.
She emphasized that reliable electricity remains critical to unlocking investment, supporting manufacturing growth, and ensuring that communities and businesses can fully benefit from Nigeria’s development
