As part of his commitment to delivering the dividends of democracy to the people of Owo/Ose Federal Constituency, the Chairman, House Committee on Science Research Institutions and Member representing Owo/Ose Federal Constituency, Hon. (Dr) Oluwatimehin Adelegbe, has commenced the installation of 3,000 solar-powered street lights across various communities in the constituency.
Adelegbe said the project is part of his continuous efforts towards good representation and the fulfilment of his electoral promises to the people.
According to him, the initiative has gone beyond the provision of street lights to some major streets, as it now includes personalised services to ensure that Churches, Mosques, Security offices, and residences of notable community and political leaders, including Heads of non-indigenes and Traditional leaders, also benefit.
"In Owo Local Government, the first batch of beneficiaries includes several prominent leaders such as Barr. Kola Olawoye, Chief Tunde Olaposi, Omolola Adedugba, Engr. Arigbede, Pastor O.O. Johnson, and Olori Olagbegi Aina, among others.
"The installation will also cover places of worship like the Celestial Church, C.A.C Number 1, The Apostolic Church, and key security offices such as the Owo A & B Division Police Stations, Civil Defense offices, NDLEA Office, and various security posts across communities like Isuada, Iyere, and Usho.
"Traditional institutions, including Asuada Palace, Oluyere Palace, Olupenmen Palace, Olose Palace, Alamurin Palace, and the Alale Palace, are also set to benefit from the solar lighting installations.
Similarly, in Ose Local Government, the project will light up multiple towns and villages including Ifon, Idoani, Imeri, Idogun, Ijagba, Imoru, Ute, and Arimogija.
"Over 25 farming camps such as Iwoye, Ade, Daji, Otaloro, Asara, Abusoro, and Arimogija Camps are listed to benefit, a move that will drastically improve night-time safety and ease movement within these agrarian communities.
The project will illuminate numerous churches and mosques across the constituency, including:
St. David’s Anglican Church, Efirin Afo
Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Idoani
C.A.C Oke Isegun, Ifon
Celestial Church of Christ, Okeluse
Spirit of Truth Gospel Church, Ijagba
Emure Mosque and Uso Mosque
"Traditional rulers will not be left out, as eight palaces in Ose LGA, including Alaani Palace, Olufon Palace, Onimeri Palace, and Olukaro Palace, have also been listed for installation.
All police divisions, Amotekun offices, Civil Defense commands, FRSC posts, and NDLEA offices across the two local governments will be equipped with solar-powered streetlights to aid night operations and enhance safety.
In his inclusive approach, Hon. Adelegbe also extended the gesture to leaders of non-indigene communities, including the heads of Hausa, Igbo, Ebira, Idoma, and Igarra groups in Owo to ensure that every resident benefits regardless of origin or religion.
This solar-lighting initiative marks another milestone in Hon. Adelegbe’s continuous efforts to promote sustainable development through renewable energy. Beyond improving visibility and security, it will also help reduce reliance on the national grid and minimize carbon emissions.
The project is expected to be implemented in phases, beginning with identified strategic locations before expanding to cover additional communities and institutions across the constituency.
Hon. Timehin Adelegbe reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to the welfare of his constituents, pledging to continue implementing people-centered projects that will touch every home and community.
