Sources said there are at least 17 General Managers and Regional Managers as well as some expatriates of the previous core investors that may have been affected in the new move.
As of December 2021, the new helmsmen announced that the entitlements of the protesting staff had been cleared and tasked them to be more dedicated to their services.
Speaking on the latest restructuring action at AEDC, the sources said the removal of the GMs and the restriction of some other top officials of the DisCo appointed by the previous management was a move by the interim management to ensure there is sanity while working with staff they believe could be loyal to them.
Another official noted that the interim management were to operate until UBA had recovered its outstanding loan while helping to reposition the company.
“For now, it is not a permanent thing; once they recover their loans, they will hand over to KANN but for the meantime, some staff may suffer especially those they perceive are loyal to KANN.”
“Some of the expatriates were redeployed from their respective departments to the IMD’s office and later, he asked them to work from home which in itself signifies that they want to keep them away from the core of daily operations.”
According to the existing internal structure of AEDC, there are at least 17 General Managers and Regional Managers. However, there are almost 40 GM offices created within the space of two years at AEDC, it was learnt from an official in the power sector.
“All irrelevant GMs like GM Outsourcing should be dropped, let the company have very few GMs with normal salaries,” noting that the salary structure is so high for an ailing DisCo as well.
Although Daily Trust reached out to the spokesman who is also the GM, Corporate Communications, Oyebode Fadipe, there was no response to call or text message enquiry on the latest development. It was clear on Saturday that he was also affected and may no longer be in a position to respond to the enquiry.
