The dream of residents of Oyo town and environ to enjoy a better electricity power supply seems to be on the verge of fulfillment following the long-awaited arrival of vital equipment needed at the 132/133 KVA transmission substation under construction in the area.

The gigantic equipment hauled on a long flatbed carrier fitted with eighty tyres caused traffic gridlock and attracted public attention as it passed through the ancient town.

Radio Nigeria’s correspondent who visited the site of the substation along Oyo-Iseyin road gathered that the project was nearing completion as other equipments such as control panels and towers were already on the ground.

Meanwhile, Chairman, Oyo Metropolitan Development Association, Archbishop Ayo Ladigbolu has demanded a greater demonstration of the spirit of communal self-help from the people as the government alone could not bear the entire cost of the project.
