Darkness fades and hope illuminates as Dr Sanusi Ohiare, former Executive Director of the Rural Electrification Fund (REF), continues his mission to energize Kogi state!

This week, smiles filled the faces of denizens of Kogi state from Ogaminana to Nagazi in Adavi LGA, Obangede to Okaito/Usungwe, Uhuodo to Eika-ohizenyi in Okehi, Ozé-òhu, Check-point, in Okene to Iya Community, Kabba/Bunu to Anyigba in Dekina, as the warm glow of newly installed solar streetlights, Solar Home Systems and freshly grounded electricity transformers - all courtesy of the young Technocrat’s interventions, banished the shadows of darkness.

In all, 200 solar streetlights, 100 solar Home Systems for households and 4 electricity power transformers were delivered and installed in communities across the 21 LGAs in the State by the Rural Electrification Agency of Nigeria (REAN), through Dr. Sanusi Ohiare’s advocacy.

For the denizens of these communities, there is no more navigating unlit paths after sunset, no more worries about safety!

Communities like those living at back of Old Zango Ogaminana, Adavi LGA and opposite Area Court, Ozé-òhu, Check Point road, Okene LGA; Iya Community, Kabba/Bunu LGA, and Anyigba Community, Dekina LGA also received the Gift of Light, courtesy Dr. Sanusi Ohiare altruism and REANigeria's tradition of excellent service delivery which continues to impact underserved Nigerians in the remotest parts of the country, with the delivery and installation of four (4) 500Kva electricity transformers, thus boosting their access to stable and reliable electricity power supply, and paving the way for brighter opportunities.

Also, 100 units of Solar Home Systems to provide stand-alone, off-grid electricity power supply have also been distributed to underserved households in communities across the 21 LGAs in the State.

Dr Sanusi Ohiare’s tireless dedication in lighting up not just streets, but futures in Kogi state is nothing short of wondrous and shows a rare commitment to the general wellbeing of his people by a former public servant. This commitment to bringing light and development to every corner of Kogi is truly inspiring!

It is therefore little wonder that members of the aforementioned communities across the State, led by their traditional rulers and leaders of thoughts have showered appreciative encomiums on young Dr. Sanusi Ohiare, thanking him for bringing light to them, quite literally at the end of the tunnel.

For the young Technocrat, this is yet the beginning as he is poised to deliver even more projects, through tireless advocacy, to the people of the State: “they are my inspiration and I’m but rendering the duties of a grateful son to them”, said Dr Sanusi Ohiare with a winning smile.
