Adelabu said Nigerians must realise these assets belong to them, so they must jealously protect them, adding that it was the taxpayers’ money that was used to acquire them.

He said the Ministry of Power was collaborating with office of the National Security Adviser and security agencies to protect them as it costs a lot of money to replace them when damaged.

The minister said the ministry was also collaborating with states to have their protection framework to protect the infrastructure. According to him, the Federal Government is also trying to provide at least two million meters on a yearly basis.
