N175m Power Line Project Stalls 17 Months After Payment In Osun
The construction of a 33kV separate power line in Osun State has stalled seven months after a sum of N175.2 million was approved for the project by the federal government, OSUN DEFENDER gathered.
In a Facebook post by a Non-Governmental Organization, Tracka, a sum of ₦175.2m was paid to Enytem Global Ltd for the execution of the project, from Obaagun road to Unity Polytechnic Junction along Otan-Ayegbaju–Ila-Orangun road.
However, several poles erected are still without cable and not yet connected to the power grid.

“We tracked and reported that over 300 concrete electricity poles have been erected along Iree through Otan-Ayegbaju but several poles are still without cables, and the poles have not yet been connected to the power grid.
“We call on the Federal Ministry of Power, the implementing agency, to ensure the contractors return to site to complete this project,” Tracka wrote.
