Dr. Mohammed Adam commissioning the electrification project in Karaga
The Deputy Energy Minister who is
also the parliamentary candidate for the Karaga Constituency, Dr. Mohammed Amin
Adam, has connected seven communities in Karaga to the national grid.
The communities include Gogu, Kunang,
Kpobo, Gunayili, Namburugu, Shebo and Vogu.
Out of 166 communities in the Northern
Region which have been earmarked for connection to the national grid, Karaga District
has been allocated 20 communities of which seven have been completed and
commissioned.
Under the phase two of the rural
electrification project, 13 communities from the Karaga District will be
benefitting from the project.
Dr. Mohammed Amin while addressing
community members said the provision of electricity to the communities would
enable students in the various communities to learn effectively at night and
excel in their examinations.
“The use of lanterns at night by our
brothers and sisters to study will be a thing of the past with the introduction
of electricity in their communities.”
He noted that the electricity in the
communities would create job opportunities for the youth in the district to be
able to earn some money to feed their families.
Dr. Amin assured the people of Karaga
Constituency that he would provide mechanized boreholes to some selected
communities to solve the water crisis in the district.
He urged the people of Karaga to vote
massively for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) come 2020, for continuous
developmental projects in the constituency.
