Senator Bassey was represented by Mr Ekpo Ada, director of his campaign organisation who monitors the installation of the transformers urged the communities to take ownership of the projects by securing them to avoid vandalisation again

“This project is part of Senator Gershom Bassey’s campaign promises to bring development to the constituency. You are therefore to take good care of them to avoid vandalisation a second time”

He assured other communities within the Southern Senatorial District who are currently experiencing blackout that they will be beneficiaries of the next batch of transformers to be delivered soon.

Chief Asuquo Nyong Nsan, the village head of Ifondo community expressed gratitude to the Senator and thanked him for ensuring that electricity returns to the community

“With the supply of electricity, our people can now carry out both domestic and commercial activities with ease”.
