Nigerians have been asked to support the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, in its efforts to improve the power sector.
.
Speaking during a joint workshop organised by Journalists for Democratic Rights (JODER) and the Nigerian Human Rights Community (NHCR) in Lagos at the weekend, Dr. Sam Amadi, the Chairman of NERC, said the support of Nigerians and civil society organisations was crucial to helping the sector .
.
Amadi however stated that lack of investment in the sector by the Federal Government was the major reason the sector had not yielded the desired result.
.
According to him, huge corruption also hindered the sector since 2000.
.
JODER condemned the way the sector had been left for long without being attended to.
