Nigeria, Abuja: The Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) has commenced work on a new 15 km 33 kV line.
With the new line, they will restore power supply to a community in Nigeria that has been without electricity for a decade.
Speaking at the official flag-off of the project, the executive director for networks at NDPHC, IfeOluwa Oyedele said the distribution intervention project also includes the rehabilitation of the Ifetedo/Garage-Olode 33 kV power line.
Oyedele stated that the project would see the dualisation of 3 km of 33 kVA line from Mayfair roundabout to Modakeke, adding that eight 300 kVA and eight 500 kVA distribution transformers will be supplied and installed in the community.
Oyedele commended the Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola for pushing hard for the project.
According to him, following the intervention of the Governor of Osun State, “we at NDPHC, in keeping with our mandate to improve electricity infrastructure in Nigeria visited Olode-Garage Community for location inspection and discovered that the community electricity supply is being fed from old Akure Transmission Station, which has been dilapidated for a very long time.”
He explained that in scoping this project, “we engaged with IBEDC (Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company) and we have been assured that the intervention of NDPHC in the improvement of electricity infrastructure in this community will align with their proposed infrastructure upgrade in the community and the entire state.
“With this intervention, there will be great improvement in the condition of living of the people, socio-economic activities, commerce and industry and general wellbeing in Garage-Olode community,” concluded Oydele.
