To achieve this, my administration, alongside other relevant stakeholders, is working diligently to enhance power infrastructure and resolve the challenges causing the outages”.

“Efforts are underway to ensure Epe enjoys uninterrupted power during the festive season and beyond. Reliable electricity is essential for daily life and celebrations, and we are working tirelessly to provide a stable supply”, she reassured.


The Chairman expressed her gratitude to key individuals and organisations for their contributions toward addressing Epe’s electricity challenges including Hon. Wale Raji, Hon.

Princess Animashaun commended their unwavering commitment, stating that their dedication exemplifies genuine concern for the community’s welfare. “Our collective goal is to ensure comfort and joy for all during this festive season and beyond.
