The Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Chairman, Dr. Eric Osayande, on Friday, donated a 500KVA transformer to Ogbeson Community in Ward 3 of the LGA.
Aimed at boosting electricity power supply in the area, the Council boss, represented by his Vice, Hon. Osamuyi Idehen, sued for protection of the facility by residents; “this is your property, you must do everything to protect it against vandals”, Idehen said.
Members of the Ogbeson community, who came out in their hundreds, were full of praise for Osayande’s all-inclusive administrative style, noting that, the Council Chairman is an uncommon administrator who carries his people at heart.
Speaking further, the Vice Chairman commended Ogbeson residents for their support and commitment to the Party, she expressed confidence that the support of Ogbeson people will increase following the donation of a 500KVA transformer by the Osayande-led administration.
“I want to thank Ogbeson people for their very robust support; our Chairman has asked that this transformer be given to you, to help boost electricity supply in your area; I believe that you will do everything within your powers to protect it and ensure that it serves the purpose for which it is intended.”
The transformer, which was dropped at Egbon Street, along the Pipeline Road, will serve adjoining streets once energized; residents were seen in joyous mood as the Vice Chairman handed it over to the community.
“This facility is given to enhance electricity power supply in your area, I hand it over to you in the name of the Almighty God”, Idehen said.
The Ogbeson transformer makes it fourth on the roll since Osayande assumed office for the second term, September 2023.
Upon taking over the reings of power last year, Osayande donated three (3) 500KVA transformers to Oregbeni Ward 2, Idogbo Ward 8 and Uhie Ward 9; meanwhile in his first term, over fifteen (15) transformers were distributed to power-plagued communities across the local government area.
On Friday, members of the Ogbeson community expressed joy with a promise to protect it to serve its full purpose.
On ground to receive the transformer on Friday were the Ward 3 Councilor, Hon. Osahon Usiobaifo, Special Adviser to Council, Hon. Desmond Iyen, Supervisory Councilor, Environment, Prince Aisosa Ogiegbaen, Party leaders, men, women and youths.
Osayande has said his administration will continue to listen to the yearnings and aspirations of Ikpoba-Okha people and deliver on the ideals of good-governance and people-oriented policies and programmes.
