President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Engineer Adesayo Olusegun Michael as the Managing Director of the Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency (NEMSA) and Chief Electrical Inspector of the Federation (CEIF).

Engr. Michael was a pioneer staff of Electricity Management Services (EMS) during the pre-privatization era, which later transformed into NEMSA.
