The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has said about 162 electrocutions and 132 injuries, all induced by poor safety regulations and compliance were recorded in the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI) in 19 months.
NERC stated recently at a public consultation on its draft health and safety code authored for adoption in NESI that most of the accidents were recorded in the sector between January 2102 and July 2013, mostly at various electricity distribution companies and points in the country.
The commission thus noted that when approved for operation, it would not hesitate to initiate penalties against electricity distributions companies that fail to comply with extant provisions in its health and safety codes.
