The Accord Party in Ogun State has initiated a project to install 300 solar streetlights across rural communities, marking the start of its preparations for the 2027 governorship election. Alhaji Agbongboakala Olaniyi Shuaib, the party’s governorship candidate, made the announcement at the party’s secretariat in Abeokuta.

The project aims to address infrastructure gaps in underserved areas and promote rural development. Hon Oke Michael, the State Chairman of the party, stated that 100 streetlights would be installed in selected rural communities within each of the three senatorial districts.
