The new energy boss stated this through a statement sent to our correspondent Thursday, by the company’s Head, Corporate Communications, Dr. Friday Adakole Elijah.
The spokesman said Bakori, who has spent most of his years in Nigerian Electricity Power Authority (NEPA) and Power Holding Company of Nigeria, will no doubt leverage on his experience to meet consumers demand.
According to him: “The new MD has promised to reposition the company for efficient service delivery in such a manner that would be profitable to the stakeholders, investors, staff and customers.
“His attention would be focused on reduction of ATC & C losses via the instrumentality of performance tracking and evaluation, Customers tariff reclassification to reflect reality of energy consumption by customers, Customers enumeration, Energy accounting and audit through aggressive metering, reengagement of all runaway customers back to the grid, and provision of quality service amongst others”.
Bakori who hitherto acted briefly as the Managing Director of the company in 2015 promised to prioritize staff welfares such as job security and conducive working environment called on staff to eschew all sorts of vices, rumor mongering and backbiting stressing that management under his watch would not tolerate indolence, non–performance, dereliction of duty as well as truancy from staff.
“He sued for cooperation and understanding of staff to enable the company meets statutory performance target that would ultimately translate to profit making. Our doors are open to suggestions and any out of the box initiative that will move the company forward”.
He has however urged staff of the company to redouble their efforts towards optimization of their services, Elijah said.
