In an effort to contribute to the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Senator Solomon Adeola has facilitated the donation of 102 electric transformers for 435 Community Development Areas (CDAs) spread across three senatorial districts of Ogun State.

Speaking against the backdrop of the donation of transformers, Media Adviser to Senator Adeola, Chief Kayode Odunaro, stated that the transformers of different specifications were procured according to the requirements of each benefiting locality. These include 500kva/33, 500kva/11, 300kva/33, and 300kva/11, which were presented to representatives of communities on the side of the celebration of Senator Adeola’s 56th birthday at Asade Agunloye Pavilion, Ilaro in Yewa South LGA.

He noted that a total of 17 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Ogun State benefited from this scheme of “Light Up Ogun State,” namely, Yewa North, Ado Odo Ota, Yewa South, Abeokuta North, Ifo, Obafemi Owode, Ewekoro, and Sagamu. Others are Ijebu Ode, Odogbolu, Ipokia, Ijebu North East, Ikenne, Ijebu East, Remo North, Abeokuta South, and Ijebu North.

While explaining the motivation for the facilitation of these needed energy infrastructures, Senator Adeola stated that his office was inundated with many requests for transformers following his periodic donation of transformers to communities over the years, adding that it is a thing of joy for him to bring light to various homes and businesses through the provision of transformers.

Odunaro noted that the senator has facilitated the provision of transformers in the “Light Up Ogun State” initiative, which includes the provision and installation of solar power street lights along streets, markets, communities, and palaces, with over 16,500 poles installed so far across the Ogun West senatorial district and beyond.
