The Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency (NEMSA) has trained some of its staff members to boost its capacity to monitor and enforce actions on quality electricity network and supply.

The Managing Director, NEMSA, Engr Aliyu Tukur Tahir, stated this during a training session held by the German foundation, Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, and the Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning, in Abuja.

According to a statement by NEMSA, Tahir said the agency was ready to enforce technical standards and regulations and other responsibilities, noting that the training would enrich the staff with the relevant knowledge, skills and attitude required to deliver.

He said: “I have no doubt that all participants in this specialised capacity building workshop will be equipped with relevant knowledge, skills and attitude required to ensure the effective delivery of NEMSA’s responsibilities in Nigeria.”

The training covered business planning and implementation, communication, project management and tools, among others.

Chairman of the governing board of NEMSA, Engr Suleiman Yahaya, harped on the importance of the training.

He said, “The importance of capacity building cannot be over emphasised, as it has immense benefits, not only to the employee, but to the organisation and the nation at large. It enhances employee motivation, job performance and skills, which ultimately lead to the success of the organisation.”

The Deputy Resident Representative of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung in Nigeria, Lucas Laible, said NEMSA would help “create opportunities for the whole country, on a smaller and larger scale, from the individual to the small business owner to big businesses.”
