An abandoned World Bank Assisted Rural Electrification project in Ketu area of Yewa North local government area, aimed to serve 57 communities is to be completed by Senator Solomon Adeola, the Chairman of Senate Committee on Finance and APC senatorial candidate for Ogun West senatorial district to the tune of N50million.
The senator made the pledge for the completion of the project among other pledges that he redeemed on the spot at Oja-Odan over the weekend during his ward to ward campaign tour of Yewa North LGA. The tour took him to 4 wards and many communities including Ebute, Oja-Odan, Ohunbe, Igbeme, Tata, Eggua, Igan-Alade, Owode-Ketu and Ijoun.
“It is shocking that there is a World Bank Assisted Rural Electrification Project that is over 90% completed and abandoned following the expiration of the global finance body financial assistance".
"From the narration here, I am willing to see to the completion of the project that will benefit 57 communities in the senatorial district I intends to represent. I am sure that completion of this project which has been abandoned for years will greatly assist human and economic development of these communities” the senator stated.
The senator however stated that a full briefing should be provided for him on the project and what specifically needs to be done for completion adding that but for the scanty information available, he would have authorized the release of fund for its completion at the instance.
