Leadership reports that Geregu Power Plc appointed Sean Manley as Interim Chief Executive Officer, effective February 2, 2026.
The appointment is reportedly subject to approval by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC). Manley is described as having more than three decades of experience in the power sector, including work at Siemens on thermal power projects.
The Punch and ThisDay also covered the development, noting positive investor sentiment and expectations that his international experience could support technical partnerships and operational upgrades.
Echotitbits take: Interim CEO appointments usually signal a board prioritizing continuity and operational discipline while it searches for a permanent successor. For Geregu, the near-term market signal will be measurable improvements in availability, heat-rate performance, and maintenance execution—especially as power-sector reform pressures increase.
