TNTERVIEW: NO SINGLE CASE OF CORRUPTION IN NERC UNDER MY LEADERSHIP

Twenty-four hours after completing his tenure, immediate past chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, Sam Amadi, spoke with PREMIUM TIMES about his challenges, achievements in office as well as his ambition. In a two parts interview with Business/Economy Editor,BASSEY UDO, Mr. Amadi said he left behind a credible NERC leadership, electricity market.

Your tenure as chairman of NERC ended yesterday. You have come to the point where Nigerians and posterity would pass their verdict. What would you say that would be?
AMADI: I want to write a book. The tentative title of the book is ‘Mission (Un) Accomplished”. That means mission either accomplished or unaccomplished, depending on what people choose to see my tenure in office.

I see myself as lucky to have managed the country’s electricity sector when all these reforms were happening. This is a mission accomplished, because I set out to create a credible leadership in NERC and the electricity market; to make NERC an effective regulator capable of accomplishing its regulatory mandate.
