AEDC, Crown Interactive Reaffirm Commitment to Digital Transformation

 

 

The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) and Crown Interactive have reaffirmed their commitment to driving digital transformation in Nigeria’s power distribution sector.

 

This renewed commitment was expressed during a courtesy visit by the Managing Director/CEO of Crown Interactive, Mr. Wumi Oghoetuoma, who led his management team to AEDC’s headquarters in Abuja. They were received by the Acting Managing Director of AEDC, Engineer Chijioke Okwuokenye, and his management team.

 

Mr. Oghoetuoma expressed deep appreciation for the partnership with AEDC, noting that it has enabled Crown Interactive to remain balanced and committed across all areas of its operations.

 

“It has been a journey for me at the heart of AEDC’s digital technology transformation. My expectation is to see AEDC completely reorganised into a smart distribution system. The dynamics in the sector are changing rapidly, and teams must stay ahead to remain competitive,” he said.

 

He revealed that only about 60% of the available solution functionalities are currently in use, emphasising the need for deeper deployment to maximise value for AEDC’s operations and customers.

 

Crown Interactive reiterated its commitment to providing solutions that align with AEDC’s strategic goals while maintaining a customer-centric approach in deploying its technologies.

 

In his remarks, Engineer Okwuokenye noted that AEDC remains hungry for innovation and continuously seeks ways to deliver enhanced services to its customers.

 

“Our systems must continuously improve, keep their value, and independently identify business needs to provide solutions. We are currently building integrations for real-time energy accounting and smart operations, and there is still a long way to go,” he stated.

 

He highlighted the importance of fully integrating systems such as the Network Data Management System (NDMS) to enhance operational efficiency, customer service, and energy accountability.

 

Both CEOs acknowledged existing gaps between Crown Interactive’s technology solutions and AEDC’s current utilisation levels, reaffirming their partnership towards achieving AEDC’s vision of becoming a fully smart and digitally enabled power distribution company in Nigeria.
