The Senate is planning to amend the 2023 Electricity Act, which may lead to a halt in enforcement of electrical standards by states. The proposed amendment aims to recognize the Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency as the sole regulator.

The Nigerian Senate is set to amend the 2023 Electricity Act, aiming to shift the enforcement of electrical standards from states to a centralized authority. According to plans revealed by the National Assembly, the amended act will recognize the Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency as the sole regulator of electricity standards in the country. This move is expected to streamline regulatory oversight and provide a unified framework for electricity management nationwide. The changes are anticipated to come into effect once the amended act is ratified.
