The Federal Government said on Saturday that it had secured power installations in the North East against further attacks by Boko Haram insurgents.

Minister of State for Power, Mohammed Wakil, who was speaking at the distribution of relief materials to displaced persons at one of the various camps for those displaced by Boko Haram in Maiduguri said, “The Federal Government has taken all necessary measures to secure all power installations not only in Borno but across North East region to forestall a re-occurrence of the recent vandalisation of Maiduguri line.

“As much as we know the state is under security challenges, it is also our duty to support security forces in these difficult and dangerous times.”

Activities of Boko Haram insurgents in the state had made power installations prime targets resulting into a long-drawn power outage in most parts of the state.

Mostly affected was the destruction of power installations near Damboa.
