The Nigerian Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (NIEEE), has advised the federal government to develop standards and codes that will improve standards in the sustainable energy sector that is critical driver of Nigeria’s economic growth and development.
Engr Felix Olu, president of the institute, gave the advice in Abuja at the just concluded NIEE 2024 conference themed, ‘Harnessing Standards for Sustainable Energy and Economic Growth’.
He said that there is a crucial need to develop standards, codes, and guidelines in energy development in order to tackle the issue of quackery and enhance standardisation of goods and services, saying that it the only way Nigeria can boost efficiency in the sector.
Khalil Suleiman Halilu, the Executive Vice Chairman (EVC) and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of NASENI, explained that aligning with global best practices ensures that innovations in sustainable energy are accessible across the country’s diverse regions.
Halilu observed, “Standards not only enhance our economy but also support the deployment of innovations, contributing to our development goals.”
