In a bid to enhance security and drive grassroots development, the lawmaker representing Kogi East Senatorial District, Senator Isah Jibrin, popularly known as Echocho, has commenced the distribution of a new phase of high-end solar streetlights to several communities across the district.
The infrastructure project is targeted at illuminating previously unlit and underserved rural settlements, reducing nocturnal security threats, and boosting nocturnal socio-economic activities for residents in the zone.
Delivering the facilities to the Umomi community on Monday through his representative, Alhaji Akpa Omale, the lawmaker commended the community for maintaining peace and fostering civic cooperation.
He stated that grassroots communities showing a strong commitment to local growth deserve priority infrastructure support, reiterating his resolve to continually deliver key dividends of democracy to Kogi East.
Receiving the streetlights on behalf of the town, the Youth Leader of Umomi community, Mr. Shaibu Omebije, expressed gratitude to Senator Echocho for the intervention, describing the timing as crucial for bolstering community safety while pledging the sustained support of the local youth and leadership for the senator’s legislative agenda.
