“NupekoTV welcomes this development and considers it a significant intervention for the people of Lafiagi, Patigi and surrounding communities who have waited for improved electricity supply for years,” the statement said.

According to the platform, the countdown will serve as a public reminder of the 14-week timeline announced by the state government while allowing residents to follow the progress of the project until its expected completion.

NupekoTV urged the Kwara State Government and the contractors handling the project to ensure that the work is executed to specification and completed within the announced timeframe.

The platform said the successful completion of the project would have significant implications for economic activities, businesses, education, healthcare and the general wellbeing of residents across the affected communities.
