 The people of Tongo Local Government Area of Ademawa state, where former Vice President Attika Obubaka hails from, has finally been connected to the national grid for power supply. Plus TV Africa reports that the electrification became a reality 25 years after the creation of the local government area. This report is presented from our studio. The administrative headquarters of Tongo Local Government in the southern part of Ademawa state has been without electricity for over 25 years. Ironically, it is described as the food basket of the state, but all that is in the past now. Commissioning the electrification project in Tongo, the former deputy governor of Ademawa state, Senator Bello Tukor, noted that Finteri was among the four best performing governors in Nigeria. In the south, or from the west, or the east, you will see his hand. Day before yesterday, precisely I think on the 19th, from the Newman axis, he commissioned some roads. From there, he proceeded to the northern side, as commissioned some roads in Michika. And today he is here, and I know he will be there in central zone, either in home or some other places. In his remarks, Governor Umaru Fintiri said the commission project is the first phase, which is a 33KV mainline from Ganyeti Junction to Tongo and linked to the YEDC main station with 11KV low tension in Gamu and installed transformers and distribution lines. The governor added that the second phase is the one from Tongo to Kiri, which takes the line from Tongo to Kiri, which has already seen 90% Paul's erection and is still in progress, declaring that his administration will soon commission the project. You have over the years been neglected in the development scheme of the state and indeed the nation, at last, had made a promise to reverse the trend, change your history and put smiles on those gloomy faces, even after I made the promise, especially when I made a commitment to deliver on the abandoned electrification of Tongo. A large crowd, including religious and traditional leaders, received their August visitors. The people could not hide their joy as expressed by residents of Tongo. Yeah, it's very, very important because we don't even dream of having electricity in Ganyeti Tongo, but this governor has done it, to God be the glory. I told a lot of people that this time around, they're going to be a kind of a new thing. People will come in, new creation of businesses and jobs will be there because light holds everything. Before God created, it said, let there be light. After there was light, then God began to create. There was no creation without light. It is believed that with the provision of electricity in Tongo local government area of Ademawa state, many businesses will now surface thereby creating job opportunities to the youths of the area.
