Nigerian Government Deploys NSCDC to Safeguard Power Infrastructure Against Rampant Vandalism

The Minister of Interior, Hon. Olubunmi Tunjo-Ojo, gave the order on Friday during the passing-out parade of the second batch of mining marshals of NSCDC in Abuja, decrying that: “It is not acceptable for a country to spend billions on power infrastructure for it to be vandalised.”

The minister, while expressing deep concern over the constant vandalism of transmission lines, towers and transformers, described the repeated vandalism of critical national assets as economic sabotage which must be nipped in the bud.
