The Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency has reaffirmed its commitment to deepening collaboration with the FGN Power Company to enhance inspection processes, enforce technical standards, and promote safety across Nigeria’s power sector, as efforts continue to improve performance in the electricity industry.
This position was reiterated by the Chief Executive of NEMSA and Chief Electrical Inspector of the Federation, Olusegun Adesayo, during a visit by the management of FGN Power Company, led by its Managing Director, Kenny Anuwe, to the agency’s headquarters in Abuja.
Adesayo emphasised that strong institutional collaboration remains vital to achieving sustainable growth and improved performance in the electricity industry, noting the importance of aligning efforts among key stakeholders.
“The importance of working together cannot be overemphasised. In this era of collaboration, we all serve the same national interest and must align our efforts to achieve collective success. FGN Power Company is a strategic partner in the growth of the industry, particularly through its management of critical power assets and contributions to improving generation capacity and infrastructure optimisation,” he stated.
He commended FGN Power Company for its sustained contributions to the development of Nigeria’s electricity value chain and reaffirmed NEMSA’s readiness to maintain a productive and mutually beneficial relationship.
Adesayo noted that the agency remains committed to ensuring compliance with technical standards and safeguarding lives and property through its statutory mandate of enforcing safety regulations in the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry, a sector that has faced longstanding challenges including infrastructure deficits, safety concerns, and regulatory enforcement gaps.
In his remarks, Anuwe stated that the visit was to congratulate the new leadership of NEMSA and to reaffirm FGN Power Company’s commitment to closer collaboration with the agency, particularly in addressing sector-wide challenges.
He highlighted that the partnership would focus on strengthening transmission and distribution capacity, enhancing capacity development for operators, mobilising financing for key programmes, and improving coordination among stakeholders, as part of broader efforts to support a more stable and efficient power supply system in Nigeria.
