NERC Chairman Pledges Crackdown on Electricity Theft and Meter Bypass
Engr Abdullahi Ramat, Chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), announces plans to crack down on meter bypass and electricity theft in the power sector. The NERC aims to collaborate with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to address these longstanding challenges.
Ramat emphasizes the use of technology, including a mobile application for payment operations and a whistleblowing tool, to combat inefficiencies in the electricity value chain. The EFCC will play a central role in enforcing regulations, with offenders facing penalties for violations.
This initiative signifies a concerted effort to improve transparency and accountability in the Nigerian electricity sector.
