FOLLOWING the delivery of six 500KVA transformers to the people of Lagos West Senatorial District, Alimosho inclusive, some residents have responded to the new development by asking him to extend the gesture to their communities.
This happened after the lawmaker, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (Yayi) announced the delivery of the transformers in addition to the ongoing solar street light project.
He said he was "still on the provision of electricity in addition to ongoing solar street lights across Lagos West.
Yayi said: "Six of 500KVA transformers facilitated by me delivered and ready for installation in areas that needs it in Lagos West."
He then promised that more were still on the way in a tweet of his.

Our current transformer is old and overloaded. Thus, we only have light 2 days on and 2 days off. Please kindly help us, sir. God bless you".
