Nigeria: Govt Moves to Stem Vandalism in Power Sector, Inaugurates Committee

The Nigerian federal government has inaugurated a ministerial committee tasked with enhancing security for the nation's electricity infrastructure. This initiative aims to curb the rising trend of vandalism, which officials identify as a primary cause of frequent power supply disruptions and significant financial losses related to infrastructure repairs.

By establishing this committee, the government intends to centralize and coordinate efforts to protect critical power assets. The move reflects an ongoing attempt to stabilize the power sector and reduce the economic impact caused by the systematic destruction of utility equipment.
