He stated that with the ISO certificate that had been received by NEMSA, all meter deployed for installation must henceforth have the agency’s label and seal.

Ewesor cautions that customer should rejects any meter that had no NEMSA label and seal

“I have to state it clearly that any meter that is installed in your house or in your business premises, if you don’t see the seal of NEMSA, do not accept it.

“That means such meter is fake, can not be trusted and the quality of such meter can not be guaranteed.

“We will ensure that only the quality meters are brought into the country. NEMSA will also ensure the safety in the use of electricity.

“We will be making sure all categories of electrical installations are properly planned, designed and executed so that what is provided for our comfort will not be a cause of hazard to us,” he said.

The managing director of NEMSA, Mr Peter, thanked SON and other stakeholders as well as the staff members for their support in actualising the feat.

The SON Director General, Malam Farouq Salim,represented by Director, Management Systems Certification Services, Mr Felix Nyado said that with the presentation of ISO to NEMSA, the agency had joined a privileged class of Quality Management System certified and upgraded organisations in the country.

He said the certificate provided the agency with a robust, globally-recognised and acceptable solution.

Furthermore, he said this would help in addressing challenges associated with managing quality and delivering customer experience.

The Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Power, Mr Chinyeaka Ohaa, stated how delighted he was with the achievement recorded by NEMSA.

Ohaa said the present government is desirous of ensuring every citizen, community and business had affordable and quality power supply.
