The Managing Director and Chief Electrical Inspector of the Federation, Mr Peter Ewesor, gave the charge at a seminar organised by the Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR), in Abuja on Tuesday.
The seminar has as its theme as: ”Roles, Responsibilities, Innovation and Challenges in Power Sector.”
He maintained that the agency will continue to deliver on its set goal to guarantee safety of lives and property in the electricity supply industry within the country.
Ewesor who assured of stable system, safe delivery and reliable regular power supply, however urged customers to reject meters that are not duly tested and certified by MEMSA.
He was of the opinion that a lot needs to be passed across to Nigerians, especially knowing their rights when it comes to metering, and that people should know that electricity meters are to measure power that is delivered and consumed.
The Managing Director warned Nigerians that any meter brought into their premises, if they do not see NEMSA label, then that meter has not been tested by NEMSA in line with the law and therefore, it is not supposed to be installed or used.
He further cautioned that if they install a meter that is faulty, they can end up paying for what they did not consume in terms of estimated billing.
The Director further said that the federal government is giving out about six million meters which, he noted, would be in phases.
On his part, Director-General, Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR), Mr Dasuki Arabi, charged other agencies to relate with the citizens by giving information on their activities.
