That the body distributing power or Electricity in Nigeria
BEDC which controls Ondo state and some neighboring states has disconnected the
entire Ireakari community of Ose Local Government, Ondo State for over 8months
ago is loafer news, But the effort to restore the lights especially when one of
the illustrious son of the community was appointed to Head the Ondo state
Electricity Board(OSED) becomes an empirical discussion. At his resumption to
office Olatunji OShati Maxima thught the matter was just a small issue at which
he can just give a directive to the Board and the BEDC to restore Ireakari
Electricity, but it was not so.
The Chairan of the OSEB swing into actions to meet with
various committees that know anything about the matter, He contacted the
various Heads of the Electricity Board from Owo to AKure i, Akure ii Ondo Business managers to be precise Engr Dumoye
the Business Manager to know their Own stand on the matter. He discovered that the state Electricy Board does not have power over BEDC
and that BEDC and that BEDC was under
the exclusive presereved of one of the organ of federal Government beign
regulated by NERD
He however acknowledged, the resilient & relating of His
HRM Oba in finding solution to the logjam
In furtherance to his activity, the General Manager of OSEB
Eng Adeloye constituted a committee and visited the ireakari leaders and Obas
to discuss the way forward and since the chairman has not relent in its effort
to ensure that light is back to Ireakari community even the Yuletide. But when
things are yet to take shape. On the 23rd Dec 2015 while many others
were busy arranging for the Christmas and new year, Oluomo Olatunji Oshati
Maxima found it so unrelaxing for his people to be in black out. This is why He
and the general manger of OSEB went to the office of the chief state Head of
Ondo & Ekiti state BEDC Earnest Edgar to know the fate of the community at
this yuletide. Responding to their request, the chief Head for Ondo & Ekiti
State BEDC assures that in no distant time, He will ensure that Electricity is
restored back to Ireakari community but He solicited for the cooperation of the
entire people of the community and opined that a committee be set up within the
community to ensure that the staff of BEDC in the community are safe to perform
their operation and appeal to individual to pay up their bill. He further
reiterated that the service will be better as soon as more megawatts are
generated from the source.
Consequent upon this, Olantunji Oshati Maxima wish to appeal
to the entire people of Ireakari to keep
the Hope alive as they pray along with every comiittee working for the
restoration of the Electricity and let there be peace at this yuletide. It is
our believe thst definitely “Lehin Okuku biri biri, imole a tan’. Happy New
Year.
