In a commendable effort to enhance security and improve the quality of life for residents, the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has installed emergency solar-powered street lights in the Uyanga and Iko communities of Akamkpa Local Government Area. This initiative, spearheaded by the NDDC under the leadership of Cross River State Representative Rt. Hon. Orok Duke, aims to address critical infrastructure needs in these areas.

Street lighting plays a pivotal role in community safety and well-being. Properly lit streets are essential in deterring criminal activities, thereby creating a safer environment for residents. The installation of these solar-powered street lights is particularly significant in regions where electricity supply is erratic, offering a reliable alternative source of illumination.

Rt. Hon. Orok Duke highlighted the broader vision of the NDDC in his reaction to our reporter. “The NDDC will continue to assist the state to bring relief to the state. As an interventionist agency, we are not limiting our scope. Street lights is a security measure to curb crime. We are looking forward to providing these lights to the hinterlands to serve as alternative source of electricity to our people and this is one of the thematic area of the commission,” he stated.

Beyond enhancing security, the provision of solar-powered street lights brings numerous other benefits. It extends the hours of economic activities, allowing local businesses to operate longer into the evening. Additionally, it promotes social cohesion by enabling residents to safely participate in communal activities after dark.

The initiative reflects the NDDC’s commitment to sustainable development in the Niger Delta region. By utilizing solar energy, the Commission not only addresses immediate needs but also promotes environmental sustainability. Solar-powered solutions reduce dependence on non-renewable energy sources, thereby contributing to the fight against climate change.

Community leaders and residents of Uyanga and Iko have expressed their gratitude for the NDDC’s intervention. They noted that the new street lights have already begun to make a noticeable difference in their daily lives, providing a sense of security and improving the overall ambiance of their communities.

The successful implementation of this project underscores the importance of collaborative efforts between government agencies and local communities. It sets a precedent for future initiatives aimed at improving infrastructure and enhancing the quality of life in rural areas.

As the NDDC continues to roll out similar projects across the Niger Delta, it remains committed to addressing the diverse needs of the region. The provision of solar-powered street lights in Uyanga and Iko is a testament to the Commission’s dedication to fostering development and ensuring the well-being of all residents.
