Ukan Kurugh writes on how the rate at which transformers in Gboko are being vandalized and thus throwing many residents of the town into darkness is alarming. My investigation found that many parts of the town are without electricity due to either vandalized transformers or transformers that have broken down. For instance the area from First Bank down to Ahmadu Bello way on Captain Dawns Road, Adekaa has been without power supply for several months due to a broken transformer. I also found out that about a month ago the transformer situated by the side of JED(Jos Electricity Distribution) Plc business office beside St. John’s Primary School, Gboko was vandalized and armored cable carted away. This has resulted in no public power supply to the High Court premises, Nigeria Correctional Services, BIRS area office, St. John’s Hospital, Dunamis church, and environs. More worrying is the fact that this particular transformer is situated just beside the JED office. One would have t...
