The Olofin of Isheri Mole and Adimula of Awori Kingdom, Oba Sulaiman Adekunle Bamgbade, has begun enjoying uninterrupted 24-hour electricity supply following the completion of a corporate social responsibility (CSR) project by WIHU International Ltd.
The company completed the installation after inspecting the palace and deploying the necessary equipment to provide a stable power supply.
Chief Executive Officer of WIHU International Ltd., Mr Peter Adeola Williams, said the project fulfilled the company’s commitment made during the commissioning of the initiative and reaffirmed its resolve to ensure continuous electricity supply to the palace.
Oba Bamgbade commended the company and its chief executive for what he described as an exemplary demonstration of corporate social responsibility.
According to the monarch, the intervention extends beyond providing electricity to the palace and underscores the role the private sector can play in supporting traditional institutions and advancing community development.
‘This noble gesture by WIHU International Ltd. goes beyond powering the palace. It is a shining example of how corporate organisations can partner with traditional institutions to drive meaningful community development.
‘We deeply appreciate this investment in our kingdom and pray that God Almighty grants the company greater success, expansion and prosperity,’ he said.
The monarch called on other corporate organisations, development partners and public-spirited individuals to emulate WIHU International Ltd. by investing in projects that improve the lives of residents of Isheri Mole and other Awori communities.
He identified education, healthcare, youth empowerment, infrastructure, environmental sustainability and technology as critical sectors where collaboration between the private sector and traditional institutions could accelerate development.
‘Our communities are rich in culture, heritage and human potential. Through purposeful collaboration between the private sector and traditional institutions, we can deliver sustainable projects that improve the lives of our people.
‘I encourage more organisations to partner with us in areas such as education, healthcare, youth empowerment, infrastructure, environmental sustainability and technology. Together, we can build stronger and more prosperous communities,’ Oba Bamgbade said.
He reaffirmed the kingdom’s commitment to supporting organisations that make meaningful contributions to community development, describing such partnerships as essential for achieving sustainable growth and shared prosperity.
