Protect Govt’s Installations, Gov’s Aide Urges Anambra People
Senior Special Assistant on Power and Water Resources to Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State, Mr Victor Meju, has called on communities in the state to protect government’s installations in their areas against vandalism.
Meju made the call yesterday in an interview with The Tide’s source in Awka.
He said that it was the civic responsibility of the people to safeguard public facilities in their areas.
He said that protecting the installations from attack by miscreants would help to ensure that the facilities served the purpose for which government spent huge resources to provide them.
Meju said that the wanton destruction of public facilities by vandals amounted to sabotage against good governance in the state.
“We have taken stock of all the vandalised street lights across the state in order to replace them and restore light at all the flashpoints but we will not treat the act of vandalism with kid gloves any more.”
He said that a committee had been set up by the Commissioner for Public Utilities, Mr Emeka Ezenwanne, to take stock of all the vandalised street lights to be able to make them functional again.
