Ikeja Electric Plc (IE) has partnered with the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) to protect its infrastructure with the aim to achieve stable power supply.
During a meeting with the Lagos State NSCDC Command, the Head of Legal and Regulatory, IE, Babatunde Osadare, commended the organisation and police for their support in safeguarding the utility firm’s equipment from unwholesome activities of vandals and effecting arrests and prosecutions as and when due. He reminded NSCDC that vandalism remains on the increase, hence urgent intervention was needed. He stated that the nefarious activities were sabotaging the company’s efforts to deliver efficiently.
Also speaking, IE’s Chief Security Officer, Michael Igbodipe, suggested that while the power firm continues to sensitise stakeholders, community leaders and consumers need to take ownership of electrical facilities in their domains and protect them against vandalism.
Responding, Lagos State Commandant of NSCDC, Edenabu Okoro Eweka, thanked the IE team and supported the crusade to jealously guard electricity infrastructure, stating that one of the core mandates of the corps was to ensure the safety of critical assets across the length and breadth of the country.
