He emphasized the need for mutual respect and cooperation among all stakeholders to ensure the program’s success. KEDL’s Acting MD/CEO revealed a loss of over ₦5 billion in the first half of 2025 due to energy theft and expressed gratitude to the Governor for establishing a Special Court and Task Force to address the issue swiftly.
