“We urge the appropriate authorities, particularly the state governor and the IBEDC, to restore the power outage in the town. The power outage has paralysed socio-economic activities in this community,” Seriki said.
Similarly, the secretary of the association, Jamiu Oladokun, explained that there was a time when the community bought cables to help restore electricity.“All the hospitals in Oke-Oyi are complaining about the huge amount of diesel and petrol they buy to power their generators and other necessary equipment. We have made several meetings with the IBEDC officials at Baboko and Sango in Ilorin, to the extent that we contributed money to procure the damaged materials, yet it was fruitless,” he said.
When contacted, Olori Busolami Tunwase, Corporate Affairs Manager of IBEDC told The PUNCH that the organisation would conduct an investigation into the nature of the fault that affected the electricity supply in the area. “If the people of the communities have reported in our office, we will investigate the nature of the faults to know what is really wrong and we will correct the faults and restore electricity to the area,” she said.All rights reserved.
