The Nigerian Society of Engineers NSE, Abuja Branch and stakeholders have dialogued against the abuse and destruction of public infrastructure in the FCT.
Speaking at a one-day stakeholders’ workshop on public infrastructure abuse and vandalism in FCT, NSE’s President, Engr Tasiu Gidari Wudil, said infrastructure vandalism is synonymous with vandalism against the state.
Wudil, who was represented by the director of Mass Housing PPP FCDA, Engr Emmanuel Oluwadamisi, said public resources were used to provide infrastructure and when vandalized could be equated to insurgency.
He said, “I think this is a good topic to discuss for awareness creation and for collective protection of our infrastructure.’’
