The Oboroke-Eba Ward in Okehi LGA is currently suffering from a total black-out due to the breakdown of their 500KVA Transformer servicing the Community.
This was brought to the floor of the House by the Member Representing Okehi Constituency, Hon. Kekere Sanni Abdulkareem.
In a Motion appealing to the State Government to assist Oboroke-Eba Ward in his Okehi Constituency under a matter of urgent importance, Hon. Kekere informed the Speaker and his Colleagues that the Transformer broke down some months ago and efforts and appeals to persuade the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company, AEDC, to replace it failed.
This situation, he further stated, has caused untold hardship on his people’s socio-economic life and therefore, seeks the indulgence of the House to resolve that the State Government do direct the Ministry of Rural Development to supply a unit of 500KVA Transformer to Oboroke-Eba Ward behind Ohu-Oweyi in Okehi LGA to alleviate their sufferings.
The Motion was seconded by Hon. Godwin Osiyi, Member, Ogori-Magongo Constituency.
The Speaker, Rt. Hon. Momoh Jimoh Lawal applauded the mover of the Motion and directed the Clerk of the House to do a letter to His Excellency conveying the House resolution accordingly.
In another Matter of urgent importance brought to the floor of the House by Hon. Kekere Sanni Abdulkareem, the Member who is also the Chairman, House Committee on Education expressed displeasure over the Primary School Teachers demonstration shown on Channels TV and how it is unhealthy for both SUBEB and the State Government. He therefore, called on the Speaker and his Colleagues to allow his Committee to intervene with a view to finding an amicable solution to the crisis while urging the leadership of the Teachers to suspend further action for now.
The House agreed with Hon. Kekere’s prayer and the Speaker directed that the SUBEB Chairman be invited to face the House Committee on Education for a way forward.
