It is with immense sadness that d.light shares the news of the death of our Chief Executive Officer, Nick Imudia. Nick died suddenly earlier this week at his home in the suburb of Lekki in Lagos State, Nigeria.

In light of this tragic event, d.light’s Board of Directors has appointed   the company co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer Nedjip Tozun as interim CEO. Nedjip previously served as d.light CEO from March 2015 until October 2022 and will assume the responsibilities effective immediately to ensure continuity in d.light’s operations.

“Nick was a dear friend and a valued colleague who will be greatly missed by everyone at d.light. All our thoughts are with Nick’s family, friends and loved ones during this very difficult time,” said Tozun.

“Nick was appointed CEO of d.light in October 2022 at a very challenging time for the company and the wider off-grid solar energy market,” he continued. “One of Nick’s enduring legacies is d.light’s healthy and robust position today, which is due in large part to his hard work, dedication and extraordinary leadership.

“We will honour Nick’s memory by continuing to serve our customers and tirelessly pursuing d.light’s goal to transform and improve the day-to-day lives and opportunities of people and families through access to sustainable products.”
