The elders and people of Iguiye and Ohogua villages in Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State, were full of excitement over the rural electrification project approved by His Excellency, Godwin Nogheghase Obaseki, the Executive Governor of Edo State
Speaking at Iguiye Village, the Chairman of the Edo State Oil and Gas Producing Areas Development Commission, EDSOGPADEC, Pastor Kennedy Osifo, leading board members and management of the commission on an awareness visit, told the Odionwere, Pa Joseph Enadeghe and elders that Mr. Governor has approved their request and as such came to present the contractor, Roe Engineering System and Solutions Nigeria Limited to them since the village is in mandate areas of oil and gas producing local government.
Osifo, however, solicited their support to give adequate protection to the contractor and the facilities to enable speedy completion in line with Governor Obaseki specifications.
In his remarks, the Okaeghele of Iguiye Village, Godwin Ogbeide, who spoke on behalf of the Odionwere and elders, thanked Governor Obaseki for this laudable gesture, saying successive governments in the state have neglected them for too long despite their political and economic potentials.
He prayed for God’s protection and direction for Mr. Governor while assuring of their support and cooperation to protect the contractor and the facilities, adding that it is 31km from Benin City.
In the same vein, the EDSOGPADEC boss, while speaking to the Enogie, HRH Osagumwenro and the Odionwere who were unavoidably absent and elders of Ohogua village, said that he and his team had come to inspect the newly installed 500KVA and to also inform them that Mr. Governor had approved the extension of the electrification across the village including the Internally displaced persons, IDP, camp since it is also in the oil and gas producing local government area in the state.
