Residents in some parts of the Damongo constituency are heaving a sigh of relief as work has commenced on an electricity expansion project to areas that are yet to be connected to the national grid. The areas include Azurekura 1, Azurekura 2, Attributo, Hangaline, Cathedral residential area Annex, and Jebee.
Aiming to connect the residential areas in the constituency to the national grid, the project is expected to bring development to the areas that were hitherto unserved with electricity.
The project which is expected to be completed before December will provide the various suburbs with electricity and free installation of meters.
The project is in addition to the extension of electricity to about 1,000 households by the Member of Parliament for Damongo Constituency Hon. Samuel Abu Jinapor.
Vehicles loaded with materials for the project with the contractor have moved to the various areas for the commencement of the project.
Hon. Samuel Abu Jinapor earlier explained that these projects are aimed at improving the lives of residents in his constituency. He added that the supply of electricity to the areas will contribute immensely to the socio-economic lives of residents.
“All we are seeking to do is to step up the quality of life here. Students in these areas can finally read and study at night. Parents can also do some business when the day loses its light. This is definitely a positive boost to the lives of residents here,” he remarked.
The MP vowed to do more to bring developmental projects to the people of the Damongo constituency to empower residents.
