Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has authorized a long-awaited intervention to reconnect several Ndokwa communities to the national grid, setting in motion a project many locals had begun to regard as little more than a fading promise. In a development confirmed by senior government officials on Thursday, the Governor approved the extension of a 33kV electricity line from Abraka to parts of Ndokwa that have endured years of darkness. The new line is expected to run through Ogume, Ugiliamai, Umusadege, Utagba-Uno and Utagba-Ogbe, forming what one adviser described as “a backbone supply route” for the region. The approval marks one of the administration’s most concrete steps yet in addressing decades-old infrastructure gaps in the area. Residents, who have long relied on generators and intermittent local fixes, are awaiting the first signs of construction with a mix of hope and cautious realism. Officials familiar with the plan indicated that preliminary technical assessments had already been completed, clearing the way for contractors to mobilise. Though timelines were not immediately disclosed, the move signals a shift from paperwork to visible action, a stage many Ndokwa communities have been eager to witness. As work begins, the project is expected to reset expectations in a region where power supply had slipped from a public demand into a quiet resignation. The coming weeks may determine whether this intervention becomes the breakthrough many have prayed for or just another stop in a long chain of deferred promises.
