The Elulu of Mopa and Chairman of the Mopamuro Traditional Council, His Royal Majesty, Oba (Dr.) Muyiwa Ibeun, has commended the Honourable Minister of Power, Mr. Adebayo Adelabu, for his efforts in implementing the blueprint of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda on sustainable power supply in Nigeria.

In an appreciation letter issued by the traditional ruler and made available to newsmen in Lokoja on Sunday, the royal father noted that before his appointment as the Elulu of Mopa by His Excellency, Alhaji Usman Ahmed Ododo, the Governor of Kogi State, he had met with the Minister of Power, Mr. Adelabu.

During their meeting, they had an in-depth discussion on how to restore, supply, and sustain power in Mopamuro Local Government.

“I give kudos to the Minister for standing by his word and ensuring that power was restored to Mopamuro in less than three months after my appointment and coronation as the Elulu of Mopa,” he stated.

“During these three months of my sitting on the stool of my forefathers, the 132/33KV transmission station located at Okebukun near Kabba has received significant attention, thanks to the efforts of Hon. Leke Abejide and Hon. Salman Idris, representing the Yagba and Kabba/Bunu/Ijumu Federal Constituencies, respectively.

“This progress is reflected in testimonies from electricity consumers across the country, who have reported that power supply has not only been restored but also sustained for longer hours.

Additionally, there are reports that electricity facilities are being repaired, re-installed, and installed nationwide to reconnect and connect previously dark areas to the electricity grid.

“I also extend my appreciation to the Kabba Area Manager of the Abuja Electricity Development Company (AEDC) and his team for their dedication and commitment to their duties, which led to the reconnection of Mopamuro.”

The Elulu of Mopa further expressed his gratitude to the Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration for taking bold steps to make Nigeria great again.

He called on all Nigerians to support the government and its agencies in delivering the Renewed Hope Agenda for the benefit of the people.
