Enugu to connect 25 communities to national grid
The Enugu State Rural Electrification Board says it is working to connect 25 more communities to the national grid.
The board’s general manager, Onyema Nwodo, disclosed this in an interview on Wednesday in Enugu.
“Out of 447 communities, 422 have been connected to the national grid. We are working to connect the other 25 communities.
“The governor has given approval for this project. The board is working tirelessly to implement it,” he said.
He said the current administration was committed to connecting every community in the state to public power supply before the end of its mandate.
Mr Nwodo urged the people of the affected communities to exercise patience and protect rural electricity facilities in their domain.
The general manager commended the Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi-led administration for prioritising rural electrification.
