The  Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC)  commitment  to  making public its activities using its social media platforms  has been rewarded with  the  award  on Outstanding  Public Sector Website in Nigeria by Phillips Consulting.

The award ceremony tagged ‘’Web Jurist Awards’’ took place recently in Abuja.

Receiving the Web Jurist award, Commission’s Chairman, Dr Sam Amadi, represented by the Head, Information Technology (IT) Unit of the NERC,  Abdullahi Adamu lauded Philips Consulting for its speciality in information security assurances, IT management and training as well as in e-business development.

The award process followed a detailed evaluation of public sector websites broken into five categories, namely Aesthetics, Technical Aspects, Website Content, User Experience and Performance.

It was based on this premise that NERC won the ‘Web Performance’ category that evaluated the overall performance of the site; measuring such critical metrics as the extent to which the  website  has  been optimized;  taking cognisance of the speed  at display and availability, and also on popularity.

The highlight of the event was the presentation of the award by Jason Ikegwu  of  Phililips Consulting to  Adamu,  on behalf of  Dr Sam Amadi.
