“This landmark document will be officially signed on July 31, 2025, and marks a historic milestone in our employee engagement and policy transformation efforts.
“It is a bold testament to the promises made and kept by this management in ensuring staff-centered, performance-based, and reward-driven organisational reforms,” he added.
Lawani emphasised that under renewed leadership in the past three months, BEDC had made measurable progress in transforming staff experience and operational efficiency company-wide.
He rejected any misinformation about recent reforms in the company, stressing that facts speak clearly
“BEDC has significantly departed from old practices, showing strong resolve to motivate employees, improve service delivery, and build a skilled, efficient, and productive workforce.
“Top-performing Linesmen and DSSOs were selected for an all-expense-paid training in Lagos and Abuja to enhance safety and technical skills on the field.
“These initiatives are part of broader efforts to equip frontline staff with necessary tools, expertise, and confidence to deliver quality services under safe conditions daily.
“Operational support across BEDC’s franchise has also improved significantly with renewed funding, vehicle deployment, tool upgrades, and logistics aid to strengthen regional field operations.
“Material supply processes have also been overhauled with the introduction of proactive warehousing, ensuring quicker procurement, reduced delays, and improved service turnaround for customer needs.
He reaffirmed BEDC commitment to staff welfare, professional development, and excellence in operational service to its customers and stakeholders across its service areas.
“These commitments are no longer just targets. They are being implemented and experienced by our workforce across every level of BEDC’s operations and service network,” Lawani noted.
He urged the public to ignore misinformation and distractions, affirming that progress made would not be derailed by any attempt to sabotage the reforms.
“BEDC leadership remains focused, transparent, and deeply appreciative of the commitment, resilience, and achievements of its employees in delivering better outcomes for customers,” he added.
According to him, BEDC will continue to improve working conditions, introduce more incentives, and create a safe, inclusive workplace.
