Over 2000 residents would benefit from the solar power systems being distributed by the Representative of the Ikorodu Federal Constituency, Rep Babajimi Adegoke Benson.
The solar light would be benefitted by old and senior citizens in Ikorodu who cannot afford to pay for electricity, as the gesture would enable them to have access to alternative power sources.
Beneficiaries of the solar package were sourced from political, religious and traditional groups among others, while some were picked through notable social media platforms.
