Prof. Maitafsir Launches Electricity Restoration in Sokoto

The restoration of electricity to Sokoto Local Government Areas (LGAs), which have experienced a three-year blackout, was initiated by Prof. Garba Musa Maitafsir, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Yabo-Shagari Federal Constituency. The project was launched at a ceremony attended by various political leaders and community representatives.

Maitafsir announced that he signed a contract with Sanjay Engineering, committing to complete the project within 30 days and has already deposited N150 million to kickstart the work. He expressed readiness to provide additional funds if necessary due to the extent of the damage.

Engr. Sani Aliyu, managing director of Sanjay Engineering, assured the community of timely project completion. Dr. Zayyanu Ladan, representing the Concerned Citizens Forum of Yabo, praised Maitafsir for his efforts and called for support from Kaduna Electric for a consistent power supply post-restoration.

Local APC chairmen also commended Maitafsir for his contributions to the community, urging residents to vote for the party in upcoming elections.
