The Lagos State Government, through the Office of Rural Development, has continued its rural impact and transformation as four communities in the Ikorodu Division area of Lagos State, Southwest, Nigeria, have been provided with brand new transformers.
According to the Special Adviser to the Governor on Rural Development, Dr Nurudeen Yekinni Agbaje, the initiative is part of the continuation of the state government rural electrification initiative.
The transformers were supplied to the communities between October 28 and 29, 2025, with Heritage Estate CDA in Igbogbo/Baiyeku LCDA, Golden Paradise Estate in Mowo -Kekere, Ewu-Agbo Community in Agura, in Ikorodu LG and Iradelu Itesiwaju Community in Imota LCDA, all benefiting from the rural electrification initiative of the state.
