Power supply improves in Bayelsa ahead of Jonathan’s visits
As the people of
Bayelsa await President Goodluck Jonathan, who is expected in the state
in a few days’ time, electricity supply in Yenagoa, the state capital,
has improved.
Consequently,
social and economic activities have received a boost with artisans and
other self-employed persons who closed shops due to lack of electricity
supply returning to work.
The News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) reports that the improved power supply became noticeable
on Wednesday, two days after the governor, Timipre Sylva, announced the
President’s visit.
The governor said Mr Jonathan will be on a two-day working visit to the state from October 22 and 23.
Power supply in the state, especially in the state capital, has been
characterised by constant outages which last for long periods and at
times, results in total blackout for days. But since the President’s
visit was announced, power supply has been stable, lasting for as long
as 18 hours, daily.
