ALLEN AVENUE NOW GETS SOLAR STREET LIGHTS
Jan 17th, 2009 | By Camil Rufai | Category: Lead Story, Works
ONIGBONGBO LCDA SET TO BECOME THE 1ST LGA TO ENJOY UNINTERRUPTED ELECTRICITY!
Respite has come to the way of people of Onigbongbo, Ikeja and its environ as solar street lights are being installed to increase security on our streets without having to wait for the ‘all-powerful’ PHCN whose trade mark is total darkness.
By the time the world comes to an end, or may be I exagerate a little too much which I doubt anyway, with the spate of robbery almost everywhere in the country in recent times, several of these robbery attempts would have been foiled if only PHCN has been magnanimous enough to supply power, at least during the dark hours when you cannot see who is right in front of you.
The rate at which Lagos State the face of lagos mega-city is changing under the able and amiable leadership of Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) is astonishing. This is due to the fact that people are begining to see reasons and embrace the policies of Fashola’s administration with ethusiasm than it used to be at the begining of any painful reforms and restructuring.
Well, in as much as Lagos State Government under the leadership of Barrister Babatunde Raji Fashola has made the well-being of an average Lagosian a serious business, his efforts must be commended and given the ovation it deserves. Walking arround Lagos State nowadays, there is a newness in it that makes you feel the impact of a responsible Government in place.
The Government of ONIGBONGBO LCDA, under the dynamic and digitally creative leadership of Honourable Idowu Obasa has also begun to receive entreaties from energy investors from Grand Terrace, in Riverside, California, USA, who visited our blogsite and wrote us saying they want to invest in solar electric power generation, transmission and distribution for the Onigbongbo Communities and industrial areas thus setting ONIGBONGBO as the first model community and local government in Nigeria, where uninterrupted electricity can be enjoyed without a blink for the 365 days of the year!
Solar electric power is a revolutionary lighting system which uses photovoltaic equipment that converts sunlight energy during daytime into electric lights in the night-time. The sunlight energy is stored in a maintenance-free, and sealed lead-acid batteries during the daytime, and made available during night-time to power a sodium-vapour lamp.
This independent and renewable lighting system, does not need transmission lines from PHCN, it is energy saving, and environment-friendly.
This is great news. Obasa and Fashola na u biko. In a country where all leaders are chop and quench, we still have some few ones among them who cannot sleep until our glory is restored thank you. God go bless you yanfu-yanfu if u get this one thing done for us in Onigbongbo. By the way, I reside behind Maryland Shopping Plaza, is my area covered by this upcoming blessing of solar light?

I grew up at abule Onigbagbo in the 70s and the early 80s and i remember enjoying uninterrupted power supply in the whole of Ikeja. You could walk the streets any time of the day or night without fear of crime.
It is a sad indictment of the military rule that our local infrastructure were allowed to collapsed,and these actions were compounded by the ignoble 8 years rule of Obasanjo. I love Ikeja,Onigbongbo,Abule Onigbagbo,Opebi,ipodo,Allen avenue,Alausa,Magbodo( Isheri) ,and hope and wish that very soon these places will become world class.
Emi omo Isheri Olofin,Omo kafi owo wa ,kafi aje wa.
