Isoko indigenes under the Banner of Enyaharo Isoko Worldwide has demanded the urgent completion of the Ughelli-Ozoro 132/33kV Transmission Station.
The group in a statement, signed by its President, Amos Iwary, and forwarded by Chris Nwose, expressed their displeasure over the recent commissioning of the Owa-Alero 33kV Feeder.
“The Owa-Alero 33kV Feeder, which originates from the Agbor 2x60MVA Transmission Station, is a good development. However, its completion only underscores the abandonment of the Ughelli-Ozoro Transmission Station, conceived and awarded at the same time but left in limbo for over 14 years,” the statement said.
“It is disheartening that those who fuel the economic engine of Delta State and Nigeria continue to suffer prolonged outages, while others with minimal economic significance enjoy uninterrupted power supply. This is not about politics—it’s a matter of equity and fairness.
“Electricity is the bedrock of industrialisation. It is unacceptable that communities contributing so significantly to national revenue are left in neglect. The time for excuses is over.
“Isoko sons and daughters in the diaspora want to come home and invest, but they cannot do so while bearing the burden of basic infrastructure like electricity alone,” the statement noted
The group however, urged Governor Oborevwori to complete the Ughelli-Ozoro Transmission Station and for unity among stakeholders across the Isoko and Ndokwa regions.
