The Chairman of Ukwuani Local Government Area, Barr. Possible Ajede, has announced that Ndokwa communities that have long been without electricity in the will soon be reconnected to the national grid.
Speaking at a press briefing on Wednesday at Government House, Asaba, after a closed-door security meeting, Ajede revealed that over 80% of the materials required to reconnect with affected communities had been released to contractors, with a two-week deadline to complete the project.
Ajede expressed deep appreciation to Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, for responding swiftly to the concerns of Ndokwa communities.
“He is a listening Governor. When we came complaining, we didn’t expect such swift action, and we thank him on behalf of Ndokwa Nation”, Ajede said.
The Council Chairman reaffirmed the government’s commitment to restoring power and improving lives, urging continued public support.
“This is to assure our people that Governor Oborevwori is committed to improving the welfare of all citizens”, he added.
Ajede also spoke on future energy initiatives, including the potential revival of gas turbines in areas rich in gas deposits.
“It’s not just about reconnecting to the grid; we are exploring options to reactivate gas turbines in gas-rich areas”, he noted.
He clarified that communities like Obiaruku and Umutu currently had electricity, while others like Umusadege remained disconnected but would soon be restored.
Ajede was joined by Ndokwa West Chairman, Chief Godday Obi Nzete, and Ndokwa East Chairman, Chief Vincent Osilonya.
Improved electricity access is expected to boost economic activity, attract investment, and significantly enhance the quality of life in the region.
