The Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHED) on Monday commissioned a rehabilitated injection substation in Kom-Kom Community, Oyigbo Local Government Area of Rivers State.
This is part of its efforts to restore power supply to the area after two years of blackout as a result of the vandalization of the injection substation by suspected hoodlums.
The Chief Executive Officer of PHED, Dr. Benson Uwheru, while speaking at the commissioning of the project, expressed satisfaction with the success of the rehabilitation programme.
He commended the PHED management for ensuring that power supply is restored to the Kom-Kom community.
Uwheru, who was represented by the PHED Regional Head Beta II, Engineer Kenneth Idemudia, also noted that the electricity power re-supply programme in Kom-Kom was embarked on due to the yearning of its customers over the years.
He said that PHED solely decided to fund the project and ensure that electric power supply is restored to its very esteemed customers of Komkom in response to their yearnings.
The CEO, however, stated that it was not an easy journey, but determination enabled them to achieve it.
