We’ll ensure Oyo emerges energy sufficient state, Makinde vows

Oyo state Governor Engineer Seyi Makinde has assured  that he will work to ensure the state emerges first to attain energy sufficiency amongst other states in the country.

The Governor made the promise during the commissioning of an electrification project in Olorunda Ogunsola Idi-Obi and environs in Ona-Ara local government area facilitated by Engr Dotun Sanusi to complement efforts of the state government.

Governor Makinde equally explains that with the recent legislation to regulate electricity supply across the country, Oyo state will soon commence the generation and distribution of electricity for the benefit of the people. 

Acknowledging the support of Engr. Dotun Sanusi in facilitating the project, Makinde says the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) must ensure a discount in its billing of the people to compensate for the donated facilities.

Speaking earlier the facilitator of the 500 and 300 KVA transformers as well as other electrical facilities,  Engr. Dotun Sanusi affirms that the motivation for the project is inspired by the exploit of the Governor in lifting the bar of governance in the state.
