The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has sought the cooperation of the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA) on a coordinated inter-agency approach to achieve a sustainable energy drive and efficiency in Nigeria.
The Acting Chief Executive of the Commission, Dr Anthony Akah made the plea during a courtesy visit to the Director-General/CEO of NESREA, Dr Lawrence Anukam.
Akah said that NESREA has a key role to play in the overall drive for energy efficiency especially in the area of environmental safety, compliance monitoring and enforcement, sensitization and public awareness.
He said the cooperation with NESREA was vital because environmental safety was key to an enduring power generation, distribution and efficiency, adding that they were aware that NESREA has made giant strides in inter-Agency collaboration and delivery of mandate, for which they were ready to benefit from.
Responding, Dr Anukam assured the Commission that NESREA was ready to cooperate and collaborate to attain the desired goals and objectives.
