UBIAJA –– Honourable Andrew Ojiemhenkele Chairman, Esan South East Local Government Council has reaffirmed his government’s determination to boost electricity in the area.
He stated that no segment of the community would be neglected by his administration since electricity was the catalyst in the development of any society.
This disclosure was made at the council secretariat, Ubiaja when he inspected some of the newly purchased 300kva transformers to boost power supply in the area.
The council chairman stated that his administration would ensure that residents in the local government area who are connected to the national grid enjoy steady supply of electricity.
Hon. Ojiemhenkele while inspecting the consignments, decried the poor electricity supply being experienced currently by consumers of electricity in the local government.
The transformers which were purchased according to the chairman, would boost electricity supply not only to the residents of Ubiaja metropolis but its environs, just as he called on management of Power Holding Company of Nigeria to take adequate maintenance of equipment seriously.
The council boss who noted that poor supply of electricity in the local government had hindered smooth operation of commercial activities in the locality, urged the PHCN to reciprocate his administration’s effort by improving on the supply of electricity in the local government area.
Also speaking at the inspection tour, the Speaker of the Legislative Arm representing Ward 7, Hon. Wilson Ibhawa described Prince Ojiemhenkele as a role model who every politician should emulate in the discharge of his duty and delivery of dividends of democracy to the people. He urged the council boss to sustain the tempo.
He commended Hon. Ojiemhenkele for his approach to the challenges his administration was currently being faced with just as he lauded him (chairman) for the programmes and projects embarked upon for the benefit of the people in the area.
Meanwhile, Hon. Ojiemhenkele has undertaken another inspection tour of the on-going maintenance and rehabilitation of over head cable at Ewatto and Ewohimi as part of efforts to provide light to the wards in the council area.
He disclosed that he was always pained each time he passed through Ewatto, Ewohimi whereas other neighboring communities like Ekpon and Ewosa were enjoying electricity hence the resolve to address the situation.
