Celebrating Peerless Dr Tinuade Sanda

Since Dr Tinuade's take over of the topmost position at EKEDC about a year ago, she has been breaking grounds with innovations and re-invention in the institution, just as she is still not relenting in her unwavering effort to take the organisation to an evitable height. She symbolises purposeful, passionate and peerless leadership. Her one-year record in the saddle of EKEDC has been nothing short of phenomenal.

As a female professional who had built a long and established career in corporate finance and administration, many were eager to see what the reputed change-maker would do at the helm of a big energy company in a very challenging industry. It was a huge responsibility, a big job. On the evidence of her one-year record, it is now abundantly clear that she has provided an adequate response to all curious minds.

Gorgeous-looking Dr Tinuade set out to re-organise operational and team structure for optimum performance, improve team remuneration and performance incentives, realign customer and community engagement strategies for better brand positioning and service delivery, and develop an inclusive, impactful and sustainable Corporate Social Responsibility plan. All these were part of her innovation-based integrated reform plan. A flurry of activities followed, and the results were peerless.

In just some months under her leadership, EKEDC recorded: its highest levels of power distribution to its customers, its highest collection ever, and its lowest ever ATC&C losses. EKEDC also recorded a substantial reduction in work-related accidents and a marked increase in staff retention. It distributed over 46,000 meters to its customers through its Mobile MAP Initiative, while also taking delivery of 150 brand-new transformers meant for communities with shortages.

Dr Tinuade Sanda’s passion has not only been limited to pure corporate performance and service delivery but it has also been significantly displayed in social impact. As a firm believer in structured social intervention, she has always advocated for corporate organisations to prioritise the communities in which they operate, making sure their policies and activities do not exist at their expense, but work to elevate them instead.

Dr Tinuade indeed is a rare combination of brain, brawn and beauty and she is successfully pulling all these together, albeit silently, to make a statement for women folk in her industry She remains committed and focused in her mission to take EKEDC to the next higher level.
