Oyo State Communities Praise Tinubu’s Leadership with New Power Infrastructure
Renewed Energy Access Brings Hope to Kajola and Iwajowa
Community representatives from Kajola and Iwajowa Local Government Areas in Oyo State have expressed profound appreciation for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, following the successful commissioning of the dedicated 33KVA Iseyin-Okeho power line. This vital infrastructure project has ended years of near-total blackout, rekindling optimism among residents who endured prolonged power outages that stifled local development.
Minister of Power’s Role in Advancing Grassroots Development
The leaders also lauded the Minister of Power, Oloye Adebayo Adelabu, highlighting his dependable and results-oriented leadership. His unwavering dedication to President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda has translated into concrete improvements in power supply, directly benefiting grassroots communities across Oyo State.
Addressing Long-Standing Energy Deficits to Boost Local Economies
For decades, the inhabitants of Kajola and Iwajowa faced persistent electricity shortages that hampered business activities, deterred investors, and slowed economic progress. The completion of the 33KVA power line marks a significant federal intervention aimed at rectifying years of infrastructural neglect and fostering sustainable growth in these historically underserved areas.
Unified Endorsement from Key Stakeholders
This commendation was articulated in a joint political declaration signed by prominent figures from both local government areas and shared with the press. Notable signatories include Hon. Kola Olabiyi, Chief Financial Officer of FGN Power Company Limited; Hon. Isiaka Olalekan Salami (Obè), former Kajola Local Government Chairman; Hon. Lateef Gbadamosi, former Iwajowa Local Government Chairman; APC leader Hon. Sola Ogunbode; Dr. Kasali Salawu Adesola, Chairman of Ègbé Omo-Ibile Òkehò; and Mr. Sikiru Ismail Lawoya, Chairman of the Electricity Committee for Kajola and Iwajowa.
Inclusive Governance and Equitable Infrastructure Distribution
The statement emphasized that the Iseyin-Okeho electrification initiative exemplifies the current administration’s commitment to inclusive governance and equitable allocation of federal resources. It underscores the government’s resolve to uplift marginalized communities through strategic infrastructure development.
“This project transcends mere electricity provision; it restores dignity, economic vitality, and political inclusion to our people,” the declaration affirmed. “Under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership, no community is left behind.”
Economic Empowerment and Social Benefits of Reliable Power
Stable electricity supply is expected to empower artisans, traders, farmers, and small-scale manufacturers, fostering job creation and curbing rural-urban migration. This development positions Kajola and Iwajowa as emerging economic centers within Oyo State, contributing to broader regional prosperity.
Call to Action for Timely Grid Connection
While celebrating this milestone, the leaders urged the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) to promptly integrate the new power line into the national grid. They warned that any delay in connection could negate the federal government’s commendable efforts and stall progress.
Continued Support for Tinubu’s Vision and National Progress
The stakeholders reaffirmed their steadfast allegiance to President Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC), pledging ongoing collaboration with initiatives that promote development and enhance Nigerians’ quality of life.
The statement concluded with heartfelt prayers for President Tinubu and Minister Adelabu, wishing them wisdom, resilience, and success as they guide Nigeria toward sustainable development and national prosperity.
