Ambode lights up 68 communities in Lekki, others

After five years of total darkness, electricity has been restored to 68 communities in Ibeju-Lekki, Akodo and its environs of Lagos State, on Thursday, March 24, 2016, as Lagos State Governor Akinwumi Ambode commissioned a new 33 KVA, high-tension from Ajah sub-station with 86 transformers.

Ambode also announced the readiness of the state government to pay the electricity bill of residents until the installation of meters in all homes in the affected communities.

Speaking at the commissioning, a visibly elated Ambode recalled that the attention of his administration was drawn to the plight of residents of Ibeju Lekki, Ise and Ode-Omi comprising 67 communities in Ibeju-Lekki Local Government and Lekki Local Council Development Area (LCDA) some few months back to the fact that the communities had been without electricity for over five years.
