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.

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.
