The Permanent Secretary, represented by the Director of Rural Electrification, Engr. Ismail Balogun said about 20 communities, cutting across the three Senatorial Districts of the state have benefited from the provision of the solar street lights.

Adewale explained that the effort was geared towards ensuring an improved standard of living for those in the rural communities.

He also noted that the step would go a long way in curbing rural-urban migration and reduce it to the barest minimum.

‘’The provision of solar electricity to rural communities which is one of the mandates of the ministry is to boost the economic activities of the communities, as well as to guide against any external forces,” he said

He appealed to the people of the benefitting communities to ensure proper maintenance of the facility.

Speaking on behalf of the benefitting communities, the Baale of Temidire Ogbonselu, Chief Biala Ogbonselu, who was full of praises to the state government, said members of the communities had been looking forward to such development, promising adequate maintenance of the equipment.
