Traditional rulers and youths in the four local governments councils in Akoko area of Ondo state have commended the General Overseer of Synagogue Church of All Nations, Temitope Joshua for contributing about N31 million for the restoration of electricity in the area.
The four councils in Akoko included Akoko South West, Akoko South East, Northeast and Northwest were in total darkness for over two years before the intervention of some notable indigenes of the town including Pastor TB Joshua.
To ensure that light is restored to the affected councils, the clergyman donated a sum of N 8.1 million which was paid to Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC) This was followed by another donation of N8.1 million for transformer replacement and other accessories. The two donations were different from the sum of N9.4 billion paid for the provision of electricity.
