Unyime Idem to reconnect Ukanafun LGA to national grid in 90 days
... donates transformers to some affected areas
There is a glimpse of hope for the people of Ukanafun local government area, as their representative in the national assembly, Rt. Hon. Unyime Idem, is set to reconnect the local government to national power grid
In a clear demonstration of sympathy with the people of Ukanafun, who have been in darkness for well over five years, he has promised to restore electricity within 90 days.
He made the promise after being briefed by a team of Engineers who, at his directive, went round to assess the extent of damage on electricity infrastructure, linking the Local Government to national grid.
The engineers, upon completion of assessment, gave Rep. Idem a list of items needed and the cost implication, assuring him that upon provision of the requirements, the infrastructure will be fixed and power restored to the local government in 90 days.
Rep. Idem, who was represented during the assessment exercise by a former Secretary of Ukanafun Local Government Council, Obong James Ekekere, promised to meet requirements as soon as possible, to fast track the restoration of power in the local government.
He also promised to donate transformers to some affected areas, as part of his commitment to boosting power supply in the area.
The Federal Lawmaker however charged every village in the local government area to set up security committees, with the mandate to protect the power infrastructure within their domains, from vandalism.
