Steps in tackling the problem of vandalisation

(i) Constant inspection of the public
utilities such as
electricity installations, telecommunication
installations,
oil installations, water facilities, public
buildings, etc. On each inspection, you have to record the type of facilities
inspected, fix the date of inspection and the condition of
utility. Then send
a report to the stakeholder (NEPA,
NITEL, NNPC WATER BOARD ETC) or leader
of the utility guide/police within the area every month end. By
doing so, you will
help NNPC, NEPA, NITEL, OR
WATER BOARD to trace any problem on time
without
delay which will
help them to repair it promptly.

(ii) If you notice anybody tampering
with such facilities, you
should try and seek for the identification
of such a person.
Try to get the person’s name, his position,
office address
the vehicle number if any and authority to
repair issued by the stakeholder of that particular utility. After such inquiry
and if you are not satisfied with the identity of such person
then you should
raise alarm to attract people. When they come you should take such person to
the traditional
ruler/community leader or the nearest police
station.
(iii) In the event of any case of
vandalisation of public utility,
whether you arrest the vandal or not,
you should find out the stakeholder (NEPA, NITEL, NNPC, WATER
CORPORATION ETC)
then report to such stakeholder
immediately without delay. If the
distance is far then
report through the councilor representing your political ward or report to the town Engineer of that local government area. Do not forget that your reply may
be
delayed as a result of bureaucratic bottleneck but if it happens, try to send a reminder to them. Ensure
that
information gets to the
stakeholder (NEPA, NITEL,
NNPC, and
WATER CORPORATION ETC) as the case
