Students of Ekiti State University, Ado-Eki­ti, EKSU, have ex­pressed excitement over yesterday’s restoration of electricity supply to Iworo­ko-Ekiti, where a large per­centage of them reside.

They sang the praises of the governor, who ensured the restoration of power supply to the community.

The town had been without power supply for nine months due to non-payment of electricity bills to the Benin Electric­ity Distribution Company, BEDC, by residents.

The restoration of power supply was sequel to a meeting the governor held with the student lead­ers last Wednesday, where he promised to resolve the problems within one week.

EKSU Students Union Government, SUG, Presi­dent, Oladimeji Bayo, Gen­eral Secretary, Okunoye Ayobami and Publicity Secretary, Daniel Stephen, in a statement described the governor as students’ friend, promise keeper and a passionate father.

Also, Deputy Senate President of National As­sociation of Nigerian Stu­dents, NANS, Olusegun Famuyibo, praised the res­toration.

He said: “It is impera­tive to note that the Ekiti Students Stakeholders Fo­rum had during an advo­cacy visit to the governor appealed to him to help restore electricity to the students’ area, which has been a problem for about nine months.”
