A PDP stallwart in Gbonyin local Government, Hon. Bunmi Adeyanju known as Ayanfe Gbonyin has installed solar street lights  in some strategic areas in Agbado Ekiti, Gbonyin Local Government.

Speaking on the motive behind the project In Agbado Ekiti his home town, Adeyanju explained that residents of some communities in Gbonyin Council area have been in total darkness for about a decade hence he deemed it fit to install the solar street light to illuminate the area for easy movement of people and vehicles especially at night.

Ayanfe Gbonyin noted that the project which was the  first phase in Agbado Ekiti  would be extended to other  towns in  the local government.

The PDP stallwart lamented that residents of the council area could not raise the amount of money  demanded by  BEDC before electricity could be restored in the towns,  saying that most of the  landlords  were late and aged

“Almost all communities in Gbonyin local government have been disconnected from national grid and left in total darkness while efforts  made to restore light to the towns yielded no  result.

“Even government was unable to help in restoring light to the towns after much appeal and consultations”

Mr Adeyanju who is the  PDP House of Assembly Candidate in Gbonyin local Government during the  last election lamented how people would be  living without electricity for many years in this twenty first century,  noting  that such had exposed them to attacks from  criminals  and affected their socio economic development.

Ayanfe Gbonyin said that the project was a tip of an iceberg and promised to do more to improve the  standard of living of people in the council.

He therefore appealed to youths in the council area and Ekiti state in general  to desist from any act that could mortgage their future.

Commenting on the project, the Owa Oro of Agbado Ekiti, Oba Samuel Adefemi  Adesina said that Ayanfe Gbonyin had been contributing his quota to the development of Agbado Ekiti and urged other well-meaning sons and daughters of the town to emulate him for betterment and growth of the community.
