The joy of residents of old Eku road, Amukpe community, Iriabome, Elume community and Okuodede, Ozue community in Sapele local government area of Delta State knew no bounds on Sunday, 2nd October, 2022 as they received three 500 KVA transformers, one respectively for each community to boost power supply in their areas.

The council chairman, Chief Eugene Inoaghan said that his administration decided to donate the transformers to the three communities to ameliorate their light issue.

Journalists learnt that some of the communities have been in darkness for years because their transformer was bad and others were obsolete.

Eugene Inoaghan said that the essence of governance was to bring succor to the people, noting that the transformers were part of his electoral promises to the communities.\
