Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola has said that the state lost N56m worth of electricity cables in 2012 to thieves.
Fashola, who spoke at a lecture organised by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission in Abuja, said it was appalling that many Nigerians destroy rather than protect public property.
His words: “Let me quickly deal with the meat of the matter, which is the impact of poor conservation and protection. In 2012 alone, about N56m worth of power cables for lighting were stolen in Lagos.
