Who Operates NFEC
Institutions responsible for operating and implementing NFEC nationwide, and the phased process that keeps compliance running every year.
NFEC Is Operated Through a Coordinated National Framework
The Nigeria Fire Extinguisher Control (NFEC) programme is a national fire safety and public protection system operated through a partnership between government institutions and a technology provider.
Each organisation has clearly defined roles, ensuring transparency, accountability, nationwide coverage, and sustainability.
- Government-led ownership with policy direction and statutory authority.
- State-level delivery that brings compliance to roads, workplaces, markets, and communities.
- Technology backbone that keeps extinguishers traceable, verifiable, and automatically compliant.

How NFEC Is Implemented
NFEC Implementation Process (Phases 1–3)
Building the foundation before nationwide rollout.
- Design and development of NFEC systems and processes.
- Testing on designated pilot locations.
- Stakeholder engagement with federal, state, and sectoral institutions.
- Comprehensive rehabilitation of the National Fire Data Repository Centre (NFDRC).
- Development of regulatory tools: UNFDRS and NFERC.
- Composition of the inter-agency Project Delivery Team (PDT).
Outcome: NFEC is tested, approved, and institutionally owned before deployment.
Taking NFEC to states, roads, and communities.
- Commencement of nationwide data capture.
- Establishment of the NFEC Project Delivery Team at FFS Headquarters.
- Stakeholder training for FFS, SFS, and SEMA/FEMA.
- Free public training on extinguisher use and FEID compliance.
- Appointment of Fire Service welfare/cooperatives as FEID distributors.
- State-wide rollout of distributor–IIE alliance operations.
Outcome: NFEC becomes operational, visible, and trusted nationwide.
Making compliance routine, digital, and transparent.
- Alignment of FEID compliance with annual vehicle roadworthiness.
- Automation through 2TOC systems and VIO integration.
- Annual Distributor IIE FEID activation token operations.
- Continuous compliance monitoring, enforcement intelligence, and reporting.
Outcome: Fire extinguisher compliance becomes automatic, auditable, and sustainable.
How Everything Fits Together
