Eko Electricity Distribution Company (Eko Disco), one of Nigeria’s largest power distribution utilities, has announced the appointment of Wola Joseph-Condotti as Interim Chief Executive Officer — a major leadership shake-up coinciding with a change in ownership and a strategic reset for the company.
A New Chapter Begins: Leadership Transition at Eko Disco
The board unveiled the appointment of Wola Joseph-Condotti as interim CEO on January 12, 2026, following the resignation of Rekhiat Momoh, who had served as CEO for nearly two years. The formal announcement was made at a company flagship town hall meeting led by Engineer Olubunmi Peters, Chairman of the newly controlling shareholder, TransGrid Consortium.
This leadership handover marks a deliberate move toward fresh strategic direction as Eko Disco navigates a period of transformation triggered by new majority ownership.
Who Is Wola Joseph-Condotti? The Insider with Deep Sector Roots
Wola Joseph-Condotti is no stranger to Nigeria’s power industry. A veteran legal expert and energy executive, she brings decades of experience spanning operational, regulatory, and corporate governance leadership roles within the sector.
Before stepping into the interim CEO role, she was Group Managing Director and CEO of West Power & Gas Limited, the former parent company of Eko Disco — placing her at the heart of the organization’s evolution for years prior to the recent ownership change.
Among her notable prior roles:
-
Chief Legal & Company Secretary at Eko Disco, where she also led compliance, regulatory affairs, customer service, human resources, and data protection.
Her appointment underscores both continuity and confidence in her ability to steward the utility firm during a pivotal transition period.
Context: Fresh Ownership and Strategic Realignment
This executive change comes on the heels of TransGrid Consortium’s acquisition of a controlling stake in Eko Disco completed earlier in January 2026 — a deal that signals renewed investment and strategic priorities for the company.
TransGrid’s entry as majority stakeholder brings new expectations for operational performance, service enhancement, and investor-led governance — making continuity of leadership experience a key asset during this phase.
Stepping Down: Rekhiat Momoh’s Legacy
Rekhiat Momoh’s resignation closed a chapter of nearly two years at the helm, during which she guided the company through operational and performance improvements. Her departure comes with expressions of gratitude to staff and stakeholders and marks a respectful transition into the next corporate phase.
Why the Appointment Matters
The elevation of Wola Joseph-Condotti sends several clear signals:
-
Stability and continuity: Her tenure within the company and sector equips her to manage the organisation through change.
-
Strategic alignment: As Eko Disco positions itself to deliver on TransGrid’s vision, experienced leadership is critical to executing on performance and service targets.
-
Institutional confidence: The board’s decision reflects trust in her ability to maintain momentum while guiding the company through fresh strategic direction.
Looking Ahead: Powering Growth and Service Delivery
Eko Disco serves a significant portion of Lagos State and parts of Ogun State — regions that are vital to Nigeria’s economic heartbeat. With new leadership at the top, expectations are high for enhanced operational efficiency, improved customer experience, and stronger financial performance as the utility adapts to market and regulatory demands.
As interim CEO, Wola Joseph-Condotti faces the dual challenge of preserving past gains while steering the company toward future milestones — a role that could redefine Eko Disco’s trajectory in Nigeria’s power distribution landscape.
