Community members expressed appreciation for the initiative, describing it as a timely intervention that reflects the benefits of democratic representation. They noted that the availability of solar-powered street lighting would encourage longer business hours, improve movement within the communities at night and contribute to a safer environment for residents.

Speaking on the project, Hon. Okojie thanked the people of Ohordua for their continued support and confidence in his representation. He said the installation of the solar lights forms part of his commitment to delivering impactful constituency projects that directly improve the quality of life of the people.

According to the lawmaker, access to reliable lighting is critical to community development, as it enhances security, promotes social interaction and stimulates economic activities. He added that the initiative aligns with his broader development agenda of providing people-oriented projects that address the needs of communities across the Esan North East/Esan South East Federal Constituency.

The latest intervention further expands the reach of the Operation Light Up Agbazilo Scheme, reinforcing ongoing efforts to provide sustainable infrastructure and improve living conditions in communities across the federal constituency.
