August 4, 2026
The immediate past lawmaker representing Irepodun/Orolu/Olorunda/Osogbo Federal Constituency, Hon. Olubukola Oyewo, has commenced the rehabilitation and installation of solar-powered street lights across communities in Orolu Local Government Area of Osun State.
The project recently kicked off in Ifon-Orolu town, the council headquarters, and is designed to improve security, enhance road safety at night, and support commercial activities in the area.
Speaking to newsmen on the initiative, Hon. Oyewo said priority would be given to markets, schools, health centres, and major junctions that have been in darkness for a long time. The APC chieftain noted that solar-powered lights were adopted to ensure sustainability and provide uninterrupted illumination.
He urged residents to take ownership of the facilities and guard them against vandalism, adding that more communities would benefit in the coming weeks.
"As a member of the APC — a party that prioritizes the safety and welfare of the people — it is important that I contribute my quota to ensuring a safer Orolu LGA. I see this as a renewed call to service. Our party remains committed to putting the people first.
“This is about the safety and wellbeing of Orolu residents. We will continue to bring development closer to the grassroots,” Hon Oyewo said.
The intervention has been welcomed by residents, who described it as timely and people-oriented.
