The Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC), alongside its technical partner CGCC, paid a courtesy visit to the Executive Chairman of Ibeju-Lekki Local Government, Hon. Abdullahi Sesan Olowa.
Epe Insights reports that the Chairman was represented at the meeting by the Secretary to the Local Government, Hon. Adewale Adebanjo. The visit centered on strengthening collaboration to improve electricity supply across the area.
Discussions focused on expanding power infrastructure. The engagement underscored the need for reliable electricity to support the growing population and economy.
After the meeting, the delegation moved to Ibeju-Agbe community. They carried out an inspection of the proposed site for an embedded power station.
The facility is expected to draw supply from the Elemoro Substation. This connection will enhance power distribution capacity within the axis.
The project is designed to improve electricity reliability for residents and businesses. It will also help stabilize supply in surrounding communities.
The embedded power initiative aims to bring energy generation closer to end users. This approach is expected to reduce transmission losses.
It will also address increasing energy demand in Ibeju-Lekki. The area continues to experience rapid development and expansion.
Hon. Adewale Adebanjo expressed the council’s readiness to support the project. He described it as a key step toward boosting economic growth.
He noted that improved electricity supply will enhance productivity. It will also attract further investment into the region.
Technical evaluations and stakeholder consultations are ongoing. These steps are necessary before full project implementation begins.
The initiative has been welcomed by community members. Many see it as a solution to longstanding power challenges.
The partnership between EKEDC and CGCC reflects ongoing efforts to upgrade infrastructure. It also highlights the role of collaboration in achieving sustainable development.
