Akoko Leaders Urge Project Continuity, Seek Funding for Two Power Substations

Leaders and stakeholders from Akoko, Ondo State, have called for unity, improved security and continuity in public projects. At the Akoko Security, Peace and Development Council’s second gathering, they urged political leaders to complete existing projects rather than abandon them when administrations change. Former Federal Permanent Secretary Olusade Adesola said two proposed transmission substations in Okeagbe and Ikare could improve electricity supply, support small businesses and create jobs. He said discussions were underway to seek funding for the projects through the 2027 budget. The South West Development Commission also said stakeholders had compiled details of abandoned and unfinished projects in the area. Minister of Interior Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo and other speakers called on Akoko indigenes to work together, strengthen security and invest in education and community development. The gathering also honoured retired indigenes for their public service and contributions.
