Minister Of Works Mr. Raji Fashola Advocate Whistle Blowing Policy For Embezzlement Retrench
The Minister of Works, Power and Housing Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) advocate the whistle blowing policy to retrenching embezzlement in the country
Fashola made the recommendation at 6th Meeting of Operators of Power Sector held at Ugwuaji 330/132 KVA Transmission Sub- Station, Enugu.
The Minister noted that energy theft was not only criminal but an act of economic sabotage inimical to the power industry.
He said he doubted the assumption that only about six million households were currently making use of power in the country, saying he believed that more households were consuming energy, secretly.
He was of the view that it was the trend that gave room to estimated over- billing of non metre owners.
He therefore reiterated his call on the good citizens of the country to report illegal users of power, to enable the power sector move forward.
The Minister, however, warned against disconnection of pre-paid meters, saying he had been receiving complaints from those whose meters were disconnected.
