123KV power station in Okitipupa: NDYM begs Minister of Niger Delta Affairs – Godswill Akpabio, NDDC boss – Effiong Akwa to expedite action on the completion of the huge project
A PATRIOTIC APPEAL TO HON. (SENATOR) GODSWILL AKPABIO AND MR EFFIONG AKWA ON THE SWIFT COMPLETION OF OKITIPUPA POWER STATION
We write for ourselves and on behalf of the good people of the Niger Delta area of Ondo State to appreciate Hon. (Senator) Godswill Akpabio, the Minister, Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs and the Interim Management of the Commission headed by Mr Effiong Akwa, over their resoluteness to restore power supply to the southern senatorial distrinct of Ondo State which birthed the commencement of the monumental Erinje Power Station after about sixteen years of black out. The huge amount of money that has been invested to the project through the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) is highly appreciated.
We patriotically wish to appeal to Your Distinguished persons to expedite actions on the completion of the project so that the various human cum economic activities that have become moribund in the area can be brought back to life.
More so that we are at the festive period, the completion of the project will make the season more remarkable for our people. The advantages of the completion of the project and its subsequent opening cum commencement of activities are enormous. It will revive the economic activities of the area and thereby gainfully engage the people, particularly the youth of the area in legitimate businesses which will in turn reduce street gangsterism and cult related activities which have characterized the area for some time now.
Our people will also be motivated to solidify their allegiance in your leadership style and that of your party to have come to their rescue in addressing a problem past managers of our oil money see as unaddressable and our people undeserving.
We shall be glad to partner with, work with and support you in your uncommon determination to transforming the Niger Delta region to a Niger Delta of our dream through your politics of all inclusiveness and equitable distribution of our oil revenue.
Thank you Sir.
Hon. (Prince) Omojuwa Akinfemi Raymond
