Abia State Government has commenced the distribution of the 53 transformers procured for various communities across Abia state.

Speaking while distributing the first batch of the transformers to 11 benefiting communities, the Governor of the state, His Excellency, Dr. Alex Otti said that the distribution of the transformers is part of his social contract with the people of the state which is to promote and provide reliable electricity supply to the communities.

The Governor represented by the Commissioner for Power and Public Utilities, Mr. Ikechukwu Monday recalled that the government had announced in December 2024 that it would procure 53 transformers. He said that all the 53 transformers would be given to the beneficiaries this week.

“This is the first batch of transformers that will be procured and supplied to communities in the state.

“So today we will be handing over to 11 communities and the entire week we will distribute the remaining transformers to the benefitting communities,

“This is to boost electricity supply to our communities in the state. This is part of that gesture that would help us achieve that goal ,” Gov. Otti stated.

He urged all the communities, especially community heads to take responsibility and ensure the transformers are protected against any form of threat or vandalism.

“This is that tax payers money that is put to work so you should endeavour to ensure that you will handle it with care protect it and provide enough security,” Gov.p Otti instructed.
