- Enlightenment and engagement are vital to reduce the menace of energy theft.
- Mojec International is closing the energy metering gap in the power industry.
On Friday, officials of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) took a tour of MOJEC, a meter manufacturing company. In her remarks, the Chairman/CEO of Mojec International Limited, Mojisola Abdul, thanked NERC for its continued support. She urged the commission to help educate consumers about desisting from energy theft as energy theft sabotages the efforts of the DisCo. She added that most consumers would take power directly from the poles to bypass meters.
Abdul continued that enlightenment and engagement are vital to reduce the menace of energy theft, adding that Energy theft hampers the growth of the DisCos.
Aisha Mahmud, the Commissioner of Consumer Affairs, NERC, commended the role of Mojec International in closing the energy metering gap in the power industry. In addition, she said that Mojec’s smart meters have helped address the complaints like estimated billing that the NERC, as a regulating body, has been trying to solve.
