The Council Chairmen, Hon. Shittu Ololade and his counterpart, Honourable Okediji Daniel O, Caretaker Chairman Ibarapa North West LCDA assured the residents of improved power supply henceforth as all the bottlenecks that may hinder the supply will be given proper and prompt attention to.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by Oyaremi Nike, the council’s Information Officer, Hon Ololade enjoined the three major towns stalwarts present to sensitize the community people on prompt payment of their bills.
Reacting to the questions from the attendees, Mr Oluseye Ige who is the Overall Manager of IBEDC Ibarapa Zone promised the residents of their unalloyed support and therefore appealed to them to be wary of any infringement on any IBEDC property in their vicinities.
