VRA/NEDCo staff oppose appointment of R.A. Abdul Jalil as Director of Public Affairs

Staff members from the Volta River Authority (VRA) and the Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo) have voiced strong opposition to the recent appointment of R.A. Abdul Jalil as Director of Public Affairs. Concerns surrounding this appointment stem from allegations that Jalil lacks the requisite experience and competence for such a pivotal role in public relations, particularly given his previous conduct.

Critics argue that Jalil’s history indicates a potential misalignment with the values and expectations associated with effective communication within these organizations. They believe that such an appointment could damage the reputation of VRA and NEDCo, which have already faced scrutiny over service delivery issues.

In light of these concerns, employees are calling for a reconsideration of Jalil's appointment, emphasizing the need for leadership that promotes transparency and efficiency. They stress that a skilled director is essential for fostering better relationships with stakeholders and enhancing public perception. The situation underscores an urgent need for management to address staff concerns regarding organizational integrity and competence in key positions.
