Career
David Oyeyele was the first Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA), the organization governing the use of electricity in Nigeria. He was appointed to this position by............................... who served as Minister of Power and Steel under General Ibrahim Badamasi Babagida, after serving as the 6th and final General Manager of the organization. One of the first executive decision David Oyeyele took as CEO was to discontinue the installation and commission of any transformers less than 15KVA. Previously, NEPA had been installing 5KVA transformers in newly connected rural communities to the national grid. These transformers usually seemed adequate at the point of commission since these communities never had electricity. However, once the power came on residents quickly realised the uses and potential and would then start to purchase heavier appliances such as fridges, irons, boilers etc and thus subject these transformers to voltage overload which would subsequently cause the insulation system to break down resulting in decreased life expectancy for the equipment.Major National projects during his tenure include Connecting Abuja FCT to the National Grid and Building and Commisioning of egbin power station.
