LEADING WITH INTEGRITY
Sanusi Garba
Chairman, Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC)
Dr David Ladipo
Co-Founder, Azura Power Holdings
‘I wish to commend you on your leadership of the Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Company (“NBET”) from 2016 to 2020. You took over the agency in the wake of one of the most ambitious power sector privatisations experienced by any country; and you also had to contend with multiple macroeconomic and political challenges. You faced these challenges with courage and integrity; and you acted throughout with a welcome clarity of thought and purpose. The rigour that you brought to the management of NBET’s commercial operations – and your commitment to contractual sanctity – injected consistency and stability into the industry at a time when these qualities were greatly needed’.
Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim
Chairman, Bresson A. S. Ltd
‘The entire power industry misses the professionalism you brought to bear on your work in providing the payment services and comfort that kept the industry going. You also displayed a remarkable integrity that should serve as a benchmark for public sector leadership. As a Chief Executive of one of the pioneer Independent Power Producing companies in Nigeria, I could not help noticing the wealth of experience that you brought to bear on your assignment. I am sure this will impact your future work, especially in emerging markets.
Yusuf Maitama Tuggar
Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Berlin, Federal Republic of Germany’
‘… I had the pleasure of interacting with you in the execution of ‘take-or-pay’ power purchase agreements and sovereign guarantees for German companies keen on investing in power generation; and on the Siemens AG project under the Presidential Power Initiative (PPI). Your vivid grasp of the theoretical foundation of the subject area, combined with your experiential strength, made you a critical reference for many of the issues raised during my engagements with the investors. Despite the distractions that you faced, you laudably stood out in the Nigerian Power Sector as an unabashed, incorruptible, purposeful, and radical reformer. Through your determination to [always] conduct yourself ethically in the public interest, you saved the country billions of pounds. It is evident that your documented analysis and recommendations to the electricity sector will influence government policies for generations. The positions that you advocated for [in] all the matters that you dealt with, many of which I was fortunate to review, confirm the courage, commitment, and transparency that you upheld. I am glad that you remained focused, and you completed the 4 years of your appointment. Nigerians will remain kind to you for your commendable service to your country. I pray that you will be available to serve if you are called upon in the future, to contribute to the development of policies that will further promote growth in the Nigerian power sector.’
Najim Animashaun
Managing Director Nova Solar
‘Marilyn is refreshingly frank yet empathetic, smart and talented without affect or smugness. She breaks down complexity and detail with remarkable simplicity and humility. She is incredibly hardworking, a tough and principled negotiator, no true to the task and mandate she is given. She does not let your friendship get in the way of her job’.
Hon. Olawole Oke
Chairman, Public Accounts Committee
, ‘I wish to commend you for your exceptional performance in public service, service to humanity and service to our beloved country. During your term as the Managing Director, Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Plc, I noted your dedication to duty, steadfastness, brilliance, innovation, and creative approach to problem solving. I recall several instances where you appeared before Committee that I chaired, you showed that you were methodical, in-charge, responsive, responsible and result oriented. Your performance was the same during investigative public hearing, where our findings showed that your leadership was prudent, transparent, and incorruptible. As you continue with your professional pursuit, I personally wish you the best and please continue to be exceptional because a golden fish can never be hidden ’.
Dr. Marilyn Amobi
UZOMA DECLAN ACHINANYA, Pioneer Market Operator (MO), Nigerian
Electricity Industry.
“Dr. Marilyn Amobi, you are a combination of many virtues judging from
how you conducted the affairs of NBET (that vital link in the Nigerian
Electricity Market), during your tenure as the MD/CEO. You have proved
that it is possible to manage a critical Organization in Nigeria, where
billions of Naira is moved around on monthly basis, without any Kobo
being unaccounted for. Despite the distractions your tenure witnessed,
you remained very focused on the efficient management of power trading
in the electricity market till the end. You introduced an intellectual
dimension into the Nigerian Electricity Market that came with a high level
of integrity and transparency. You developed systems that simplified
equitable allocation of the limited revenues of the Nigerian Electricity
Market, and encouraged sustainable power generation, even when the
Generators Revenue Requirements were not met. Your efforts to prevent
a market failure that would have resulted from the design of the Nigerian
Electricity Market, due to the interplay of the unequally-yoked
Commercial Contracts (BC) with the Political Contracts (VC) in the
Trading Arrangement, is highly commendable. Marilyn, you addressed
most of the issues you met in NBET creditably and courageously, and set
standards that the Nigerian Electricity Market should be proud to sustain.“
CREATION OF AN INNOVATE FINANCIAL SOLUTION
Weela Dawit
CFO / CFO, Power SSA, General Electric (GE) International Operations Nigeria Limited
‘We sincerely appreciate your efficient, gracious service, the level of detail and accountability you have demonstrated on each opportunity our customer has presented, and the way you conduct business as a whole. Over the last two years, through the partnership with NBET, we have succeeded in boosting/maintaining output on brownfield power plants ensuring that technically available power and already installed capacity gets on the grid. The importance of NBET deferred payment guarantee has provided us with an instrument to better support our customers in Nigeria with flexible payment terms allowing us to do more. Jointly through the scheme we have put back on the grid and maintained over 400MW of capacity. Our team could not be more satisfied with your work, and we look forward to continuing this partnership in supporting the generating companies in the Nigeria Power Sector’.
Mr Ernest Oji
Director, Eko Electricity Distribution PLC
‘As an astute professional and effective leader, you led the markets growth towards self-sustainability by insisting on operating by the book, enforcing contracts (vested and otherwise) and upholding industry regulations. Your leadership was in summary: Bold, Principled and Knowledgeable. Your legacy of honesty and track record of excellence at NBET has left an indelible mark on the industry. Your professional opinions and expertise in dealing with the liquidity crisis in the sector, produced several outcomes which improved the industry immensely. These include: (1) the introduction of payment assurance guarantee; (2) advocacy for uniform system of accounts (USofA); (3) enforcement of clawbacks from excess payments from Discos to Gencos; (4) enforcement of PPA process escalations. We appreciate your sterling efforts and celebrate your accomplishments during your service with NBET and the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI) at large’.
RT. HON. (NTUFAM) DANIEL EFFIONG ASUQUO
‘During my time as Chairman of the House Committee on Power, my committee had several engagements with your company, Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading PLC, in the course of the discharge of our oversight duties. After each engagement, I and other members of the committee could not help but be impressed with your great grasp of the issues, thoroughness, impeccable organisation and the general excellence with which you approached your work. This made our work quite easy. You also introduced innovations and improved processes that significantly changed the fortunes of the company for the better. Truly, our nation teems with quality manpower and individuals who have distinguished themselves in different fields of endeavor. I commend you and enjoin you to continue on the path of excellence.’.
RT. HON. JAMES ABIODUN FALAKE
Chairman, House Committee on Finance
‘I was particularly impressed by your preparedness on each of the occasions that the Committee interrogated you on the balance sheet of NBET, the legislated budget and its expenditure thereof; and the financial interventions of the Federal Government that were administered through NBET. The documents that you submitted, combined with the oral arguments that you made in very plain words, accelerated the knowledge of the members of the Committee on how electricity markets work, the situation in Nigeria and the causes of the huge debt profile at NBET. It seems to me that your pre-dispositions to what ought to be done to improve the industry, was based on your firm grounding in the area, including the experiences that you had gained from real markets before you arrived at NBET. Furthermore, your commitment to putting the country first, integrity and courage to always stand on the path of honesty, prevented you from accumulating more debt for the country, by refusing to execute additional agreements that were clearly against the public interest. Given the important role of the electricity sector in the socio-economic development of the country, I look forward to seeing you continue to contribute to the development of interventions that would promote growth in the density of supply of grid-electricity. Marilyn, you did a great job!’
