Eko Electricity Distribution Company (Eko Disco) has announced the appointment of Wola Joseph-Condotti as its new Chief Executive Officer. Her appointment follows the resignation of Rekhia Momoh, who served as CEO for close to two years.
Prior to this role, Joseph-Condotti was the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of West Power & Gas Limited, the former parent company of Eko Disco, where she played a key role in overseeing strategic and operational direction across the group.
She played a central strategic role in the ₦360 billion (approximately $250 million) acquisition of a 60 per cent controlling stake in Eko Disco by Transgrid Enerco Limited, a consortium of energy and infrastructure investors including North-South Power Company Limited and Axxela Limited. The deal, finalized in late December 2025, marked one of the largest privately negotiated power sector transactions in Nigeria since the 2013 privatisation of the electricity distribution companies.
Joseph-Condotti is widely recognized as a thought leader in the power and energy sector, with strong interests in renewable energy, sustainability, carbon markets, and carbon credits. She is also a Harvard Law School LLM graduate and holds an MBA from INSEAD Business School, credentials that underscore her blend of legal, financial, and strategic expertise.
Her professional journey includes serving as the pioneer Chief Legal & Company Secretariat at EKEDP, where she also held key roles such as Head of Regulatory Compliance, Chief Human Resources and Administration Officer, Supervising Chief of Customer Service, and Data Protection Officer, illustrating a broad and deep understanding of both operational and governance functions in the energy sector.
Beyond executive management, Joseph-Condotti has been active in energy policy engagements and sector discourse. She participates in national energy forums, advocating for sound regulatory frameworks and private-sector participation to accelerate Nigeria’s energy transition — including discussions around smart grids, renewable integration, and cost-reflective tariffs.
Her achievements have been recognized through numerous accolades, including listings on the Legal 500 GC Powerlist: Nigeria and among the Top 100 Most Inspiring Women in Africa, reflecting her influence both within and beyond the energy industry.
Joseph-Condotti also serves on several boards, including the Women in Energy Network (WIEN) — where she is a founding member — and advisory roles for industry publications and professional organizations, highlighting her commitment to leadership development and corporate governance.
Her appointment comes at a time when Eko Disco and Nigeria’s broader electricity distribution sector face calls for improved performance, regulatory compliance, and stronger capacity to support the country’s energy goals. The company distributes electricity in parts of Lagos and Ogun States, which are among Nigeria’s most economically active regions.
