He noted that stable electricity was essential to businesses, artisans, farmers, students and households, stressing that improved power supply could support commercial activities, strengthen livelihoods and enhance the overall wellbeing of the benefiting communities.
The latest donation forms part of Fadahunsi’s broader efforts to support grassroots infrastructure and community development across the senatorial district, with electricity provision remaining a key area of intervention.
