The Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has constituted a task team for enforcement in the sector.
According to the statement from the Head, Public Affairs of the Commission, Dr. Usman Abba-Arabi in Abuja, the enforcement team was necessitated because of the improvement in the electricity supply.

Inaugurating the 10-man task team, the Chairman of the Commission, Dr. Sam Amadi stated that improvement being noticed in electricity supply industry was a result of regulatory efforts of the past.
