Equipment worth over N1.3 billion have been lost to criminal activities of hoodlums across the three franchise states of Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) in the last 12 months.
The power firm regretted that despite significant improved energy supply, incessant vandalism and theft of electricity cables, transformer oil, aluminium conductors and other critical equipment have hampered efficient discharge of services.
Managing Director of KEDCO, Dr. Jamil Isiyaku Gwamna, spoke in Kano while hosting journalists.
He reiterated the commitment of the distribution company to deliver efficient service and customer satisfactory relations across Kano, Katsina and Jigawa states.
KEDCO technical manager, Engr. David Omoloye, raised concerns on the threat of vandals.
Omoloye said the activities of vandals are hindering the firm’s services.
He called for quick completion of work on 330kv transmission sub-station being undertaken by Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), to ensure adequate transmission.
He declared that despite the impact of the sabotage, the distribution company recorded tremendous service delivery to customers in the outgoing year 2021.
