The Minister of the Federal Capital
Territory (FCT), Senator Bala Mohammed, has called on chairmen of the area
councils that were beneficiaries of the Federal Government’s solar
electrification projects to complement such efforts by providing social
amenities to their communities.
The minister made the call at the
commissioning of solar electrification projects in Durumi, Shape and Wura
communities in Abuja recently. “I charge the area council administrations to
leverage these facilities by providing complementary social amenities such as
cottage industries, entrepreneurship development centres and water boreholes to
the various communities,” he said.
The minister further stated that such complementary
effort will go a long way to empower their youths and women and also accelerate
economic development in the communities. He also restated his administration’s
continued support for the Operation Light-up Rural Nigeria (ORLN) initiative of
the Federal Ministry of Power that executed the projects.
