The Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has approved the installation of 1,600 solar-powered streetlights and the sinking of 54 boreholes across the state.
The projects will be implemented in communities across the three senatorial districts of the state.
The Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Community Engagement (Ondo Central), Mr Oluwafemi Fadairo, disclosed this at a programme tagged ‘The Platform’, organised by the Correspondents’ Chapel of the Ondo State chapter of the Nigeria Union of Journalists on Thursday in Akure.
According to him, the governor is prioritising investment at the local level, as well as at the state level, following years of alleged neglect of grassroots communities.
He continued, “The governor has also approved 54 boreholes across the state, to be supervised directly by our office in the highlighted communities. Additionally, 1,600 solar-powered streetlights will be installed across the three senatorial districts in the first phase. The second phase will commence upon completion of the first. During our community engagements, we identified common requests, such as solar lighting and better roads for transporting goods.”
