Enugu SSG, Prof Chidiebere Onyia
By ALEX ENEBELI
Enugu State Government has summoned contractors involved in laying of fibre optic cables and road constructions over alleged destruction of public utilities in the process.
They are expected to meet government officials at the Office of the Secretary to the State Government at Abuja Building, Government House, Enugu, on Monday.
The Invitation is contained in a statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Chidiebere Onyia, in Enugu.
Onyia said the state government decried incessant damage of public utilities by some contractors in the state.
According to him, the 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.
Others are road construction, mounting of billboards and other activities that required digging or drilling in Enugu State.
“The government is 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, the perpetrators will face prosecution,” Onyia said. (NAN)
