Kwara spends N2.5 billion on transformers
The Kwara State
government said it had so far spent N2.5 billion on the installation of
725 transformers in various communities between 2003 to date.
The Commissioner
for Energy, Zakari Mohammed, said this in Ilorin, on Tuesday, while
answering questions from journalists on the activities of his ministry.
The commissioner
said the purchase and installations of transformers by the state
government was the highest any government had done for its communities
in the country. He added that most of the electrification projects were
jointly funded by the state government in collaboration with the 16
Local Government Areas.
He, however, urged all the benefiting communities to protect the transformers against vandalism by ensuring their proper care.
