Rep. Ojo Makanjuola ends months of blackout in Iware community

Residents of Iware in Surulere Local Government Area, Oyo State, erupted in joy as electricity was restored to the community following the installation of a new transformer after months of total blackout.

The project was facilitated by Hon. Ojo Sunday Makanjuola, popularly known as SMATO, who represents Ogooluwa/Surulere Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.

Iware had been plunged into darkness for a prolonged period due to the breakdown of its former transformer, a situation that disrupted businesses, slowed economic activities, and made daily life difficult for residents.

Speaking on the intervention, Hon. Makanjuola described the project as part of his responsibility to his constituents.

“This is not just about restoring electricity; it is about renewing hope, reviving businesses, and making life easier for my people,” he said.

He commended community leaders and residents for their patience during the difficult period, assuring them that their welfare remains his top priority.

“This is another demonstration of our commitment to ensuring that the dividends of democracy reach every part of Ogooluwa/Surulere Federal Constituency,” he added.

With electricity now restored, residents expressed optimism for improved socio-economic activities, business revival, and better living conditions in the community.
