NEMSA Promises Stronger Electrical Safety Enforcement on Nigeria's 66th Independence
The Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency (NEMSA) has said it will step up enforcement of electrical safety, technical standards, inspection, testing and certification throughout the power sector, as the country observes its 66th Independence Anniversary.
The pledge was contained in a goodwill message from the agency's managing director and chief executive officer, Olusegun Adesayo, who is also the chief electrical inspector of the Federation. The message was issued on behalf of NEMSA's management and staff.
Adesayo extended congratulations to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the federal government and the Nigerian people on the occasion. He noted that the anniversary provided an opportunity to honour the nation's resilience, look back on its progress and reaffirm dedication to creating a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable country.
According to him, the power sector is central to Nigeria's economic growth and development. He stated that NEMSA remains devoted to making sure that electrical installations, power systems and equipment used across the country meet the required technical standards and safety rules.
Referencing the Tinubu administration's Renewed Hope Agenda and the ongoing reforms in the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry, Adesayo said the agency would collaborate with stakeholders to advance a safer, more dependable and sustainable electricity sector.
He called on operators, professionals, contractors and consumers to treat safety and compliance as a shared responsibility.
"Electrical safety is not merely a regulatory requirement; it is essential to protecting lives, property and critical national infrastructure," he said.
The NEMSA boss also encouraged Nigerians to remain hopeful about the country and to contribute to its development through their various roles.
"May this Independence Anniversary renew our hope, strengthen our unity and inspire us to greater service to our fatherland," he said.
