The Association of Public Policy Analysts APPA has accused the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission NERC of frustrating reforms in the power sector

The President of the Association Princewill Okorie in a briefing with newsmen in Abuja says that NERC is infringing on the competitive rights of independent electricity distributors, despite several ministerial directives to operate according to laid down power regulations as enshrined in the electricity distribution act

Mr Princewill also accused the electricity regulatory body of attempting to create a monopoly within the industry, thereby shunning justice and fairness in the distribution of power across the country
