PHED Restores Power Supply In Ikwerre, Emohua LGAs
Residients of some communities in Ikwerre and Emohua Local Government Areas can now heave a sigh of relief as electricity supply has been restored to the areas.
Addressing reporters at the site of a damaged power facility, a 33KVA Transformer, Wednesday, the Project Manager, Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHED), Mr. Eze Igwe, noted that the affected communities had been in darkness for more than one year.
Igwe stated that electricity restoration as powered by the Rivers State Ministry of Power in conjunction with Ikwerre and Emohua Local Government Councils through direct labour.
According to him, “we want to thank chairmen of Ikwerre and Emohua Local Government Areas who joined hands with the State Ministry of Power to make the installation of the damaged power line.”
Also speaking, the Chairman of Ikwerre Local Government Council, Mr. Samuel Nwanosike, commended residents of the communities for peacefully conducting themselves while enduring the hardships they suffered as a result of the power cut they had to contend with for the past one year.
The chairman explained that the electricity restoration was part of his electioneering promises.
He said, “during our electioneering campaigns, we promised to restore power to these communities and that is what we’re doing.”
Nwanosike debunked insinuations that the repairs and installations of electricity was carried out by the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing.
On his part, the chairman of Emohua Local Government Area, Chief Tom Aliezi enjoined the residents of the two local government areas, particularly, traditional rulers, chiefs and youths to safeguard the power installation.
