The Senate Leader, Senator Michael Opeyemi Bamidele, has donated 1,600 solar-powered street lights to communities across Ekiti State as part of efforts to improve public infrastructure and enhance security.

Under the initiative, each of the 16 local government areas in the state is receiving 100 solar-powered street lights, ensuring that all parts of Ekiti benefit from the intervention.

Installation of the street lights is currently ongoing across the state, with several communities already witnessing the commencement of the project.

The solar-powered lights are expected to improve visibility along major roads and community routes, particularly at night, while also helping to create safer environments for residents, motorists and other road users.

The initiative is also expected to reduce reliance on conventional electricity for street lighting by providing an alternative source of power through solar energy.

Residents across the 16 local government areas are expected to benefit from the project as installation continues in different communities.

The intervention adds to ongoing efforts by stakeholders to address infrastructure needs and improve the quality of life of residents across Ekiti State.
