Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi has directed the contractors handling the ongoing Kogi/Koto rural electrification project at the Murtala Bridge in Koto to complete it speedily.
The governor told the contractors that the swift completion of the project became imperative in view of its importance to members of the communities.
Mr Bello, according to a statement by his media aide, Onogwu Mohammed, gave the directive in Koto, where he inspected the ongoing project on Saturday.
The governor inspected the installation of the 185mm2 XLPE cable for the replacement of the undersized 75mm2 XLPE cable currently serving the people of Kogi/Koto, Karfe Local Government Area.
He said the ongoing initiative was to connect rural communities with the national grid, ensuring a reliable power supply as part of efforts to solve the Kogi Central epileptic power supply.
During the visit, Mr Bello implored the contractors to intensify their efforts, aiming for a prompt and efficient project completion.
The governor, however, expressed contentment with the accomplished quality of work done and underscored the project’s significance to his administration and the socio-economic well-being of the local populace.
Responding on behalf of the contractors, one of the site supervisors, Omachi Atayi, assured the governor that they would adhere to the project completion specified timeline.
