'We stay months without light' - Bayelsa community laments years of poor electricity supply

Residents of the Akeddei community in Bayelsa State have expressed their despair over years of poor electricity supply, sometimes going four months without power. They hope that the 'All On' solar hybrid mini-grid project, nearing completion, will improve their situation. The poor power supply has severely impacted small businesses, forcing many youths to leave the community in search of better opportunities. The project aims to provide electricity connections to 1,058 households and support local businesses.
