The Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency (NEMSA), which is part of the Federal Government, said that only 10,692 of the 15,931 electricity projects in the country are certified as excellent and standard.
Aliyu Tahir, who is the Managing Director of NEMSA, told DAILY POST about this on Sunday.
Tahir said that the process of inspection and certification is necessary to reduce the risks of misusing electricity, which can cause injuries, deaths, and damage to equipment.
He said that the agency had checked on 12,114 power systems across the country.
He said, “NEMSA has inspected over 15,931 electricity projects across the country, and 10,692 of them have been given the OK to be used.”
He also said that over 3,255 electrical installations in factories and other dangerous buildings have been checked by NEMSA.
