Togo energy sector shakeup as ceet director general dismissed

The leadership of the Togo Electric Power Company (CEET) has undergone a significant shift following the dismissal of Débo-K’mba Barandao from his role as director general. While no formal statement has been issued regarding the reasons behind this decision, industry insiders confirm the move.

This leadership change comes at a critical juncture for the CEET, which has long grappled with persistent electricity supply challenges and service quality issues nationwide.

Barandao, who took office in March 2022, was tasked with spearheading critical reforms within the state-owned utility. His tenure was characterized by ambitious restructuring initiatives aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and organizational structure.

The CEET, a pivotal player in Togo‘s energy sector, continues to face hurdles such as frequent power outages and the urgent need for infrastructure modernization.

As of now, no successor has been announced, but authorities have indicated that a new appointment will be made in the coming days to ensure uninterrupted service delivery.
