Abuja — I am appealing to President Buhari to give adequate protection to electricity equipment before the revocation of licences of power distribution companies. President Buhari needs to protect electricity equipment from vandals and internal sabotage before the revocation of licences of power distribution companies and the implementation of power agreement between Nigeria and Siemens of Germany. The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) recently notified eight power distribution companies (DisCos) about the withdrawal of their licences as the nation continues to grapple with persistent power outages and unreliable electricity supply. President Buhari needs to prevent vandalism of discos transformers and power-line cables now before the revocation of licences of power distribution companies.
President Buhari must avoid an error by revoking Electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) licences before securing their equipment from vandals. President Buhari needs to inaugurate an Electricity Regulatory committee to forbid theft and vandalism of electricity equipment and installation before revocation of their licences. President Buhari should establish electricity committees in all the state to monitor suspicious activities on any electricity installation or equipment, and report to state government and federal government. President Buhari must monitor the discos very well to avoid a situation whereby electrical equipment is vandalized before revocation of licences.
