The Minister of Power, Joseph Olasunkanmi Tegbe, has inaugurated a nine-member inter-agency committee to address key implementation challenges associated with Nigeria’s transition to a decentralised electricity market.
The committee was established following a stakeholders’ workshop on the Electricity Act 2023 and has been tasked with reviewing issues affecting the implementation of the new electricity framework.
According to the minister, the committee has four weeks to consult with relevant stakeholders and submit recommendations aimed at ensuring the effective and seamless implementation of the Electricity Act.
The initiative is expected to strengthen coordination among government agencies and support the successful transition to Nigeria’s reformed electricity market.
