Following a promise by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, communities in Ibeju Lekki Local Government Area of Lagos State are to start enjoying electricity supply, after six years of blackout.
The affected communities are Magbon Alade, Alasia, Orimedu, Eleko, Osa Oroko, Ise, Akodo and Solu.
The issue of the blackout was formally brought to the governor’s notice during his two-day working visit to free trade zones in the area at the weekend.
During the tour, Governor Sanwo-Olu held a meeting with traditional rulers and heads of villages in the area and the Onilekki of Lekki, Oba Liasim Ogunbekun used the opportunity to present the problem facing the communities.
According to the monarch, the cause of the power outage remains unknown as the power distribution company operating in the area has not given any specific reason for the situation.
Other traditional rulers at the meeting included the Onise of Ise, Oba Ganiyu Adegbesan; Oloshoroko of Osa Oroko, Oba Ebenezer Oyiri; Elemoro, Oba Tajudeen Elemoro, represented by Chief Raji Elemoro; and Onisolu of Solu, Oba Muyideen Balogun.
