According to a statement made available to our correspondent in Ado-Ekiti by the Senior Special Assistant on Media to the Governor, Mr. Mojeed Jamiu, the governor said this on Wednesday during an inspection tour of the site of a 132/33kv sub-station in Ado Ekiti.
Fayemi was quoted as saying that his administration was committed to the provision of a conducive investment environment.
He said, “In our state, that’s a major challenge, once we tackle electricity, a lot of other things follow. There will be a multiplier effect in the small-scale industrial sector.
“Even the ordinary barbers’ shops next to you will not have a problem and they would be able to generate more income because there is electricity for them that is predictable and that is acceptable in the state. That is a priority for us. That is why I am here.”
Fayemi, who lamented that only two of the six dedicated feeders were connected from the project that was started in 1984, said that he would ensure optimal utilisation of the sub-station and connect the outstanding four feeders.
