Executive Chairman of Epe Local Government Area of Lagos State, Princess Surah Animashaun, has restored electricity in Epe LGA after months of darkness.
She promised residents more economic empowerment.
Animashaun said the council also witnessed significant transformations and highlighted her administration’s achievements in education, culture, tourism, environment, health, infrastructure and security.
Giving an account of her stewardship in office at the council’s headquarters in Epe, Animashaun said the council delivered on its promise to restore power supply to Epe, the capital of Epe Local Government Council Division.
She described the intervention of Lagos State Governor Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC), which facilitated immediate restoration of electricity supply to the council, as a testament to the commitment of the Tinubu’s administration to its Renewed Hope Agenda, aimed at making life better for the citizenry.
She also hailed her counterpart Chairmen of Eredo LCDA, Hon. Ismail Monsuru Akinloye, and Ikosi-Ejinrin LCDA, Hon. Akogun Wale Raji Anomo for their efforts in the restoration of electricity.
Animashaun called on the Nigeria Police Force, Nigeria Army, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corp (NSCDC), the Ibile Boys, Muwon security outfit, the Department of State Services (DSS), and other relevant security agencies to intensify efforts in protecting facilities across the local government areas.
The chairman thanked the governor for the gesture done to the people in the communities and urged the councils to jealously guard the facilities against acts of vandalism.
Paramount Ruler of Epeland, HRM, Oba Kamorudeen Ishola Animashaun, stressed that the reconnection would surely increase people’s economic consciousness and bring an upswing in business.
He praised the governor and the council chairman for showing concern to the plight of the people, noting that residents and other stakeholders would ensure the security of electricity cables.
