Ogun State governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, on Thursday disclosed that distribution of electricity transformers and solar system under the planned rural electrification project of his administration would commence tomorrow across the 20 local government areas of the state.
The governor said this while speaking at Ijebu- Mushin when his re-election campaign train hit Ijebu East Local Government Area of the state for the official commissioning of the 2. 1 Kilometres Esure Road in the town.
Speaking at the event, Abiodun said the light-up-the-rural-areas project of his administration was part of the measures at ensuring that people in the “hard-to-reach” areas of the state experience a new lease of life with the provision of electricity in their respective communities.
He said the construction of the 2.1kilometres Esure road was in keeping with the promises he made in 2021 during the campaign for the local government election.
Abiodun noted that the road, apart from linking the first College of Health Technology in the state, would reduce the wear and tear of vehicles plying it, calling on the people to maintain it.
“This road is yours. I want to admonish you to take ownership of this road. This road has been built through your commonwealth and taxes. Make sure it is not abused or turned into mechanic workshops”, Abiodun said.
