The member representing Owo/Ose Federal Constituency of Ondo State, Oluwatimehin Adelegbe, is set to install about 3,000 solar- powered street lights across the constituency.
The installation is part of efforts to light up the constituency with a view to eliminating dark spots that can provide safe haven for criminals.
In a statement in Abuja, Adelegbe said: ‘In my commitment to the delivery of dividends of democracy to my people in Owo/Ose Federal Constituency, I am embarking on the installation of 3,000 solar-powered street lights as part of efforts towards good representation to the people, in line with our electoral promises.
‘We have gone past the stage of the provision of street lights in some major streets to the stage of personalising services, so as to ensure we reach out to churches, mosques, security offices, homes of notable community and political leaders, including heads of non-indigenes and traditional leaders.’
The statement said 110 individuals would benefit from the street light distribution in Owo, while 104 people would also benefit in Ose Local Government.
In addition, 19 traditional rulers, 13 security posts, 30 camps, Anglican Church, as well as heads of Hausa, Igbo, Ibarra, Ebira and Idoma communities and churches and mosques in about nine communities will also benefit from the exercise in Owo.
In Ose Local Government, 25 camps, 24 churches, six security posts, the palace of eight traditional rulers and 12 communities will also benefit from the light.
