“As from Tuesday, after the public holiday, the electricity company will mobilize and commence work, so, in the next two months, electricity will be restored in Ndokwa land.”
On the planned protest by some people to draw attention to the electricity challenges in Ndokwa land, the deputy governor observed that such protest must have been based on information that work would soon commence for electricity to be restored in the area.
He alluded that such a protest could be political as it is baseless due to the fact that there is work in progress for the people to enjoy electricity supply.
