The project, aimed at electrifying five local government areas in the oil-producing belt of the state, is a significant endeavor. It encompasses various components, including a 45km 132kV feeder line from the Omotosho Power Plant to Erinje, two 60 MVA, 132/33kV transformers at the Erinje substation, rehabilitation of 33km of 33/11kV transmission lines from Okitipupa to Igbokoda, Ugbonla, and other Ilaje neighboring communities, and construction of a 1km rigid pavement with drainage.

The Erinje power substation is strategically designed to cater to the electricity needs of the identified local government areas, which have endured a lack of electricity for the past 15 years. This project is anticipated to be a crucial step towards restoring electricity and hope to these communities.

Hon. Atikase expressed confidence that the socio-economic activities in the region would experience a significant boost once the communities are connected to the power grid. He urged all stakeholders to collaborate in safeguarding this critical infrastructure against vandalism, emphasizing the shared responsibility for security.

Atikase highlighted the transformative potential of the project, stating that it heralds a new era for the residents of Okitipupa, Irele, Ilaje, and Ese Odo, promising an improved quality of life and expanded economic opportunities.

Reaffirming his dedication to serving the interests of the people of Ondo State, Atikase emphasized his commitment to advancing the state’s development agenda, ensuring equitable opportunities for all individuals to thrive and prosper.
