He told residents that Akeredolu was aware that there are serious issues in Ondo South senatorial district on the issue of electricity but the governor could not believe there was any community in total darkness in Akure, the state capital.
The Special Adviser, therefore, ordered that the power problems should be fixed immediately.
Ariyomo said a power substation would be built for the four communities and connected to the power line at Plaza, hence the new transformer.
While appreciating the governor for the speed at which the problem was fixed, the Chairman of the communities Association, Goke Adurota said the BEDC officials had disappointed them severally after the residents had spent so much on fixing the power problem.
