Residents of Ipoyew Phase 3, Adamo, in Ikorodu, the state of Lagos, have asked Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to come and save them from a complete darkness. The Lagosa community has had no power for more than 15 years.
It was noted that the area did not have a transformer for this time period.
Ifesowapo, President of ADA Satide Adeola claims that the governor can help bring a light to the community by directing rapid deployment and community energy.
"The community has found brick walls in its many attempts to install and supply transformers.
According to him:
“This Ipoyewa Phase 3 community has been without electricity since inception. Residents have been using generating sets and fumes have killed a couple or more of families. We have appealed to the Governor for help. It a very big project for us and the community is small, all the neighbouring communities have electricity.
On exploring other channels including the Ikeja Electric Company, he said: they have asked us to go raise funds for all the materials and get them ready before we call them, while the property belongs to them. That is the fraud in the society, you pay for everything and they still bill you with a caveat that all the transformer and materials belong to them. It is unfair,” Satide lamented. He added in order to key into the ‘Light up Lagos project’’, the community made several appeals and SOS to His Excellency but to no avail.
“We have appealed to the Governor and we will not relent, we will continue to appeal to him to do this for us. It is somehow embarrassing that some communities are still without electricity in Lagos. It is never the fault of theirs, but the lack of adequate care by leaders in our society. You have to provide everything yourself, including your own security, water, roads, power etc.’’
I think the government should do something about this quickly,because the news is not good for someone else to hear
