Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, has donated a 500kva transformer and all other items needed for its installation through the Ministry of Power to the people of Igwuruta in Ikwerre Local Government Area of the state.
Speaking at the brief handover ceremony, Rivers State Commissioner for Power, Prince Solomon Abel Eke, described the donation as a direct response to Governor Fubara’s unwavering commitment to improving the lives of Rivers people.
“On behalf of His Excellency, Governor Siminalayi Fubara, we are here to deliver this Christmas gift to you. This transformer, alongside all necessary materials, will be installed within three weeks at no cost to the community. The Governor has fully funded this project to ease your burden, especially with the high cost of fuel and diesel. This is part of his roadmap to achieve 24-hour electricity supply across Rivers State,” he said.
According to him, the project reflects the Governor’s deep concern for the People’s well-being and his vision for the rapid development of the state.
Receiving the transformer on behalf of the Igwruta community, Chief John Worlu expressed profound gratitude to the Governor for the unexpected and impactful gesture.
