After over one decade of power outage in Ondo South Senatorial District, the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) says the area will be reconnected to the national grid in few weeks.

The Executive Director of the company, Ifeoluwa Oyedele said all is now set for the re-commissioning of electricity restoration projects in the area.

Oyedele added that the restoration of electricity supply had been completed in communities like Ajagba, Igbokoda, Okitipupa and Igodan Lisa (OSUSTECH) while rehabilitation of Ore- Okitipupa 33KV line had equally been completed.

He also said that work is on-going on rehabilitation of Okitipupa to Ilutitun 11KV through Ikoya, rehabilitation of Igbotako to Ilutitun 33kv line through Ijuodo, and the rehabilitation of Ore to Irele 33kv line.

The Executive Director said residents of the southern part of Ondo state who have been in total darkness for the past 12 years would smile as the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo is expected to commission the electricity projects soon.

It would be recalled that over 1,000 communities in the six local government areas of the district had been without power supply following an alleged indebtedness of electricity consumers in the senatorial district but the Executive Director said he was not aware of any debts owed by individuals.

Oyedele also disclosed that the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) had signed an agreement with the DisCos to supply meters to all customers across the country.
