NYCN Epe Urges Community to Stop Electricity Vandalism
Ekohotblog reports that the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Epe Branch, has raised concerns over the increasing problem of electricity vandalism in the community.
This comes after a recent incident where a power cable in Araga-Poka was damaged, causing further power outages in the area.
The council commended local leaders for their efforts to restore electricity in Epe despite the challenges.
“Our leaders have been doing their best to improve our situation, and we appreciate their commitment,” said Comrade Moibi Ibrahim, the NYCN coordinator.
While progress has been slow, the NYCN remains optimistic that the combined efforts of leaders and residents will eventually restore stable power supply.
However, the council warned that acts of vandalism are hindering these efforts and called for an end to such activities.
“These acts are not done by ordinary people. It takes skill to climb electric poles and damage cables. This is a big problem, and it’s delaying progress,” Moibi stated.
The NYCN urged residents to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activities around power lines.
“Everyone in Epe needs to help protect our infrastructure. If you see something strange, don’t hesitate to report it,” Moibi added.
The council also cautioned that those caught damaging electricity cables would face severe consequences.
“The police in Epe, Eredo, and Ketu-Ejinrin are aware of what is happening. Vandals will be arrested and punished according to the law,” Moibi emphasized.
Efforts are underway to replace the damaged cables, with plans for a meeting involving key stakeholders to develop lasting solutions to the problem.
Mrs. Abike, a concerned resident, shared her frustrations, saying:
“We have been waiting so long for electricity, and now these vandals are making it worse. It’s unfair to everyone.”
The NYCN reassured the community of their dedication to resolving the power challenges.
“We have been at the forefront of this struggle, working with leaders and authorities. We won’t stop until power is fully restored,” Moibi assured.
The council called for unity and collective effort to address the issue.
“We can only move forward if we work as one. Together, we can bring light back to Epe and secure a better future for everyone,” the NYCN concluded.
