9 December 2025
This Day (Lagos)

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has urged compliance officers across the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI) to ensure full adherence to industry standards.

This directive was handed down by the regulator when the players convened on Abuja for a strategic review session focused on strengthening adherence to operational standards in the power sector.

Speaking at the session, NERC's Commissioner for Legal, Licence and Compliance, Dafe Akpeneye, acknowledged notable progress in recent times, but called for renewed commitment.

In her remarks, NERC's Head of Compliance, Hauwa Yakubu, explained that the meeting was designed to assess licensees' compliance performance across the entire electricity value chain. She highlighted key enforcement actions taken between January and November and underscored the significance of new regulatory frameworks.

Key highlights included: Review of compliance performance across NESI; assessment of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) indices; evaluation of financial reporting obligations and status update on metering implementation and adherence to standards.

"Compliance officers from licensed operators across the industry participated in the review session, reinforcing NERC's commitment to promoting accountability and operational excellence in the sector," the power sector regulator said.
