    Senate Moves to Criminalise Electricity Infrastructure Vandalism

    The Senate has initiated legislative action to amend the Electricity Act, 2023, aiming to criminalise the vandalism of critical electricity infrastructure nationwide. This move comes in response to the escalating incidents of sabotage by vandals, reflecting the Senate’s commitment to safeguarding essential energy assets.

    The bill, sponsored by Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, seeks to address emerging issues in the Nigerian electricity sector, enhance policy coordination, secure infrastructure, and redefine licensee engagements. It also aims to clarify transitional provisions and strengthen industry relations.

    Enhancing Sector Resilience

    Senator Abaribe’s bill passed the second reading in the Senate, underscoring the importance of fortifying the electricity sector. Senate President Godswill Akpabio highlighted the crucial role of electricity in driving industrial growth, emphasizing the need for sector-wide reforms to ensure a reliable power supply.

    Akpabio reiterated the Senate’s dedication to public service, stating, ‘We are not here to pursue personal gain but to secure a better future for all Nigerians.’ The proposed amendments aim to:

    • Strengthen policy coordination between government levels
    • Address sector funding challenges
    • Criminalise infrastructure vandalism
    • Enhance industrial relations
    • Clarify transitional arrangements
    • Establish the Power Consumer Support Fund

    Protecting Essential Infrastructure

    The legislative changes will provide a legal framework to combat vandalism, promote regulatory cooperation, and streamline industry operations. By criminalising sabotage and enhancing community engagement, the bill seeks to create a more resilient and secure electricity sector.

    Senator Abaribe emphasized the need for clear regulations, stating, ‘Effective governance is essential to prevent disputes and ensure sector sustainability.’ The amendments aim to redefine host community interactions, mitigate ambiguities, and reinforce institutional frameworks.

    Building a Sustainable Energy Future

    The proposed reforms reflect a proactive approach to enhancing Nigeria’s energy landscape. By prioritising infrastructure protection and regulatory clarity, the Senate aims to foster a conducive environment for sustained sector growth and development.

    Senator Abaribe’s bill underscores the Senate’s commitment to driving positive change in the electricity sector, setting the stage for a more secure and efficient energy ecosystem.
