Delta
State Government has urged youths and
communities in the state to desist from
Vandalizing electricity
installations, stressing that strict measures await those found wanting.
The
state Commissioner for Energy, Newworld Safugha gave the warning during a
stakeholders’ meeting on power supply, between the state Ministries of Energy,
Finance, Benin Electricity Distribution Company BEDC, leaders of eight
communities in Ughelli North and delegation of Ibusa and Ute-Okpu communities.
According
to him, the meeting was based on the need to resolve the power supply situation
in some axis of the state, especially Ibusa community in Oshimili North Local
Government Area.
He
called on Deltans to refrain from self- help and work with the BEDC staff in
times of need, adding that the Ministry of Energy should be the first port of
call when issues bordering on power supply-arise.
Earlier,
the BEDC state Head, Ernest Edgar, who commended the state government for its
concern in resolving the lingering issue, said that the BEDC was committed to
delivering better services.
