The Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution (PHED) has impounded three freight Haulage Trucks conveying goods from the Port Terminal for destroying their electrical installations in Onne.<\/p>\n

This incident is said to have occurred on Tuesday, March 29, 2022 on their way to Enugu State en route Igbo Etche.<\/p>\n

Preliminary investigation revealed that the three haulage vehicles belonging to Gosconsa Nigeria Limited with plate numbers (ABG 510 XF, RUM 09 XA and RUM 100XA) failed to follow due process as contained in the company\u2019s policy and procedure for issuance of permit to grant access to haulage trucks.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s policy and procedure for issuance of permit requires contractors to officially request for permission in writing with regards to the kilometers to be covered on their journey or the type of work to be done in the case of projects to be executed. The Policy further states that NEMSA licensed contractors are the only contractors certified to handle such repairs when customers decide to handle repairs by themselves.<\/p>\n

According to the disco, the destruction caused by the trucks is giving great concern to PHED as its customers have been plunged into darkness amidst the national grid crises which the company has been trying to manage in the last two weeks.<\/p>

“It is quite regrettable that Gosconsa Nigeria Limited has irresponsibly destroyed electrical assets worth millions of naira in a bid to escape laid down procedures, yet provided military escort for their haulage. Unbelievably, the company claimed to have obtained a haulage permit from sources unknown to PHED.<\/p>\n

“Consequently, the matter has since been reported to the police, the freight trucks impounded and under-going investigation.<\/p>\n

“The Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution (PHED) Plc is using this opportunity to inform the general public to help protect critical electricity infrastructures by reporting activities of persons and corporate organisations whose actions are detrimental to the stable power supply we are striving to achieve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
