From David Onuoja, Abuja
The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency (NEMSA), Engr. Adesayo Olusegun Michael, has urged members of the Power Correspondents Association of Nigeria (PCAN), to give greater prominence to electrical safety awareness, responsible reporting and public education.
Speaking at the 6th Annual PCAN Conference in Abuja, Michael said correspondents have an important responsibility to educate Nigerians on electrical safety, regulatory compliance and ongoing reforms aimed at improving the power sector.
He said NEMSA remains committed to ensuring that electrical installations, equipment and networks across the country comply with prescribed technical standards and regulations, thereby safeguarding lives and property.
The NEMSA MD stressed that beyond infrastructure, safety is critical, noting that improved electricity supply under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, must go hand in hand with safety, quality and reliability, and called for a culture where safety is everyone’s responsibility.
