The appointment, effective from January 23, 2025, is for an initial term of four years.
Aliyu has been acting as the agency’s Managing Director since March 2024 until his appointment.
He has over 20 years of experience in energy and organisational development in the private and public sectors. He has played key leadership roles in the on-grid and off-grid power sectors, as well as the water resources and transportation sectors of Nigeria’s economy.
