…New Transformers Pave Way for Enhanced Electricity Infrastructure Across Six Local Government Areas

By Gbenga Ibrahim


Distinguished Senator Ajagunla Olubiyi Fadeyi, representing the Osun Central Senatorial District, has commenced the third and significant phase of a comprehensive N200 million electricity upgrade project. This latest stage involves the strategic distribution of eleven brand-new 200kVA transformers operating under a 33kv power line. This initiative is a crucial step in facilitating the development of a new, high-capacity 63MVA X2 electricity sub-station, a project poised to revolutionize power supply across six selected Local Government Areas within the senatorial district.


This third phase underscores Senator Fadeyi’s unwavering dedication to addressing the persistent challenges of inadequate power supply that have long hampered the progress and well-being of residents and businesses in Osun Central. The substantial N200 million investment reflects his commitment to not just providing temporary fixes, but establishing a robust and sustainable electricity infrastructure for the future. By strategically deploying these new transformers, Senator Ajagunla aims to directly impact communities that have endured prolonged periods of darkness or suffered from unreliable power, a situation that often stifles economic activities and diminishes the quality of life.


Senator Fadeyi, who also serves as the Vice Chairman of the Senate Committee on Trade and Investment, has consistently demonstrated a proactive approach to governance, translating his promises into tangible actions. His focus on infrastructure and rural development has been a hallmark of his tenure, recognizing that access to reliable electricity is a fundamental catalyst for growth and prosperity. The ongoing transformer distribution is not an isolated effort but an integral component of a larger vision to modernize the power grid within Osun Central. The anticipation surrounding the new 63MVA X2 sub-station highlights the potential for a transformative impact on the beneficiary Local Government Areas, promising a more stable and significantly enhanced power supply capable of supporting industrial growth, small businesses, and household needs.
While the specific communities benefiting from this current phase of transformer installations are yet to be officially announced, the commencement of the rollout has already sparked considerable optimism among constituents. Residents and business owners alike are hopeful that this initiative will mark the beginning of a new era of reliable power, fostering economic development and improving living standards. Details regarding the commissioning of these transformers and the broader timeline for the completion of the 63MVA X2 sub-station project are expected to be shared with the public in the near future.

However, the current momentum clearly signals Senator Ajagunla Olubiyi Fadeyi’s steadfast commitment to ensuring that the dividends of democratic governance are tangibly felt across every corner of Osun Central Senatorial District.
