Dr. Umar Abubakar Hashidu has formerly taken over as the Chief Executive Officer of the Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company (KAEDCO), succeeding Mr Yusuf Usman, who left last year.
This was announced in a statement issued by Abdulazeez Abdullahi, Head of Corporate Communications, on Monday in Kaduna.
According to him, a brief handover ceremony was held at the company's corporate headquarters in Kaduna, presided over by Mr Dafe Okpaneye of the Nigerian Electricity Regulations Commission.
Abdullahi quoted Okpaneye as commending the former CEO for the work he had put in the past 18 months to move the company forward and charged Abubakar to emulate him.
In his address to the Executive Management Committee members and staff, the new CEO urged the staff members to challenge themselves to do better.
He stressed his belief in the ability of the management and staff to change the negative narrative about Kaduna Electric to a positive one.
In his farewell remarks, Yusuf also appreciated all the staff for the support he got during his time and urged them to do the same to the new helmsman.
Before his appointment, Hashidu was the erstwhile Managing Director of the North East Development Commission (NEDC) and the Yola Electricity Distribution Company.
