 OGSG PROVIDES 7500KVA TRANSFORMER TO OWODE EGBA

          Ogun State Government has put smiles on the faces of indigenes of Owode Egba in Obafemi/Owode Local Government Area of the state, through the provision of a 7500KVA transformer with accessories worth over N200million.

      

    The transformer replaced the old 500kVA, which was abandoned for 20 months, to boost the socio-economic life of the people of the community.

          Speaking on the gesture in his palace at Owode Egba, the Olu of Owode, Oba Kolawole Sowemimo, said the town had been in darkness for over 18 months, thereby paralysing several growing and existing business activities in the area.

He appreciated the state Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun for providing the amenity, describing the ongoing Owode Egba road construction as a good feat that would ease the hardship of people in the community and attract more investors into the community.

According to Oba Sowemimo, "I have never seen this type of transformer; it is indeed, a substation. It will cushion the effect of the blackout.

          "Before we were given this transformer, we had spent over N5million to repair the one we are managing which finally packed up after two months of repairs. We give it to Governor Abiodun for bringing a power station to Owode Egba, as it will light up all the community’’.

          Remarking, the High Chief of Owode Egba, Hon. Deji Sowemimo, reiterated that it was a huge development that would not be forgotten, noting that the provision would bring back the lost glory of the community and improve the security of the area.

          On her part, the Iyaloja of Owode Egba, Mrs. Iyabode Sowemimo, pointed out that the road construction in the area had facilitated easy transportation of goods, thereby enhancing the commercial activities of the town.

           In their separate reactions, Mr. Richard Eleyoro and Mrs. Folorunsho Salami, applauded the government for improving people’s standard of living, advising the indigenes to take ownership of the transformer, to enjoy more dividends of democracy.
