By Web News 1025

The governor of Osun State, Mr Adegboyega Oyetola has flagged-off the construction of 33KV power supply line from Ile-Ife to Garage-Olode (Awolowo Town) and Ifetedo/Garage Olode 33KV power supply. 

The power project is coming after 10 years of power outage in the affected areas.

Speaking during the flag-off ceremony at Garage-Olode, Ife-South Local Government Area, Mr Oyetola said the project occupied a strategic place in his administration’s agenda to empower the benefiting communities to contribute substantially to the development of the state. 

He said his administration had been working closely with Niger Delta Power Holding Company, NDPHC, to ensure quick and prompt delivery of the project.

The Osun State helmsman explained that part of the reason the project was delayed up till now was the need for a permanent solution rather than a palliative. 

Mr Oyetola who identified some of the projects executed in the areas, said his administration, under the Partnership for Expanded Water Supply, Sanitation &Hygiene (PEWASH) programme, had earlier facilitated the sinking of 11 new solar-powered Boreholes and 5 new Hand pump boreholes. 

In his remarks, Member, Osun House of Assembly representing Ife-South State Constituency, Mr. Benjamin Ogundipe, described the project as one that would bring succour to the people of his constituency.

The Executive Director (Networks), Niger Delta Power Holding Company, Mr Ife-Oluwa Oyedele, lauded Governor Oyetola for continually taking the welfare and general wellbeing of the people as his topmost priority.

Earlier in their separate remarks, the Olubosin of Ifetedo, Oba Akinola Akinrera, and the Olu of Olode, Oba David Omisore, expressed their profound gratitude to the governor for taking their subjects out of protracted darkness that had paralysed the socioeconomic activities of the areas in the last ten years.

The power intervention efforts will also help to power towns and villages such as Iyanfoworogi, Aye Coker, Aye-Oba, Wanikin Eleja, Egbejoda, Idi Obi and Ali Ahanran in this first phase, and when completed, the project will cover the entire Ife South Local Government and the LCDA.
