Light Up Oyo: Govt opts for alternative for steady power supply

From Ogundele Olanrewaju

As part of effort to make the light up project more available, consistency and effective across Oyo state, the state government is set to transit from primary fuse source to the originally scoped Tribrid system.

The commissioner for energy and Mineral resources, Seun Ashamu, revealed this after inspection of the ongoing routine corrective maintenance of broken poles for the availability of street light.

According to the commissioner, Honorable Ashamu, said that as a result of common challenges confronting the country, the primary fuse which uses diesel as it source of energy was purposely used for the actualization of Governor Seyi Makinde’s led administration priority of getting the light on to reduce the crime rate across the state as well as make the environment more conducive.

He added that the state wide project will henceforth transit to it original scoped system, the Tribrid energy, comprises of grid, inverter and gas generator for support as agreed with the developer.

Ashamu therefore appeal to the public to see themselves as the co-ownership of the project and urged the people of the pace setter state to report pole fall either by technical fault, a reckless driver or vandals on 0700444999.
