Enugu Govt Moves Against Vandalism of Public Utilities, Summons Contractors

Enugu gov’t frowns against damage of public utilities by contractors.

The Enugu State Government has observed with dismay the indiscriminate destruction of public utilities such as water pipes, electric cables and roads by contractors and contract workers in the course of laying of fibre optic cables, road construction, mounting of billboards or any other activity that requires digging or drilling in Enugu State.

The government hereby issues a stern warning that such destructions or damages will be treated as gross acts of economic sabotage for which the offenders shall be sanctioned with fines for full restoration of the damaged facilities, in addition to possible criminal prosecution.

Meanwhile, all contractors involved in laying of fibre optic cables and road constructions in the state are invited to an urgent meeting at the Office of the Secretary to the State Government as follows:

Date: Monday, December 4, 2023

Venue: SSG’s Board Room, Abuja Building, Government House, Enugu
